Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Actions that show overinvolvement include buying clothes for patients, showing favoritism toward a patient, and spending off-duty time with patients and families. Focusing on technical aspects of care is an action that indicates underinvolvement, and asking questions if families are not participating in care indicates a positive action.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Families that struggle with lower incomes, homelessness, and migrant status generally lack the resources to provide their children with adequate food intake, nutritious foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and appropriate protein intake. Working parents and single parent status do not mean the families will struggle to provide adequate nutrition.
