Answer to Question 1

B
Spouses, parents, and other close family members are particularly vulnerable to the stresses related to caring for clients with a chronic illness when their needs are ignored. Also, stress levels can increase depending on the lifestyle adjustments that must be made by the family members to accommodate the needs of the client. One chronically ill family member can have a dramatic impact on the finances and time of an entire family.

Answer to Question 2

D
The correct option uses an empowerment model by assuming mutuality in sharing and providing respect for what the survivor knows.
