Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Hospitalization is more directed toward stabilizing a patient while identifying consequences and has little impact on improving social support. Providing social support includes cushioning the effects of potential stressors. Improving links between the individual and the community, strengthening natural caregiving networks, using informal support groups, and providing nursing support all are ways to increase social support for an individual.
