Answer to Question 1

A
Duvall's theory helps the nurse to forecast predictable issues that a family may face at each developmental phase. Understanding the tasks to be achieved, the nurse is in an ideal position to provide guidance when couples who plan to divorce face such tasks as planning a schedule for child visitations.

Answer to Question 2

B
The third stage of substance abuse (regular use) is characterized by progression to midweek use of substances to get high; excitement followed by guilt over use; and regular use progressing from tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana to other substances such as hash oil, tranquilizers, sedatives, and amphetamines.
