Answer to Question 1

B
The group member who is always quiet and almost invisible to the rest of the group would be considered the silent one. This role is almost opposite the talker, who attempts to dominate the conversation. While supporters attempt to be kind and helpful, the intimidator tends to scare off other group members.

Answer to Question 2

B
Emotional response to physical illness is believed to have a direct impact on the prognosis for recovery. Also, physical illness has a direct impact on the emotional state of a person. In this manner, a nurse operating from a holistic theoretical model can understand the mind-body connection and begin to see the mind and body as a unified system.
