Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The client and family often require specific counseling and guidance to assist them in coping with the role changes.
Although the nurse may agree that the daughter's concerns are legitimate, the counselor is best suited to help the daughter cope with these changes.
While assistance with providing the care may help, the counselor is best suited to help the daughter cope with these changes.
Although actively participating in a support care could prove helpful, the counselor is best suited to help the daughter cope with these changes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The nurse must view the whole family as a client under stress, planning care to help the family regain the maximal level of functioning and well-being.
While the illness of a family member requires role reassignment in order for the family to contin-ue to function, the initial focus is to be viewed as a unit in need of care.
While the family should provide support to the ailing member, the initial focus is to be viewed as a unit in need of care.
This may become necessary in order to ensure the continued functioning of the family, but the initial focus is to be viewed as a unit in need of care.
