Answer to Question 1

C
Roy's model focuses on assisting the client to develop more effective adaptive responses to stress. The APRN must first ask the couple to identify the stressors. The next approach would be to have them discuss previous coping strategies. If previous methods for coping with similar situations are not effective, the couple must develop new and more effective coping methods.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
