Answer to Question 1

D
In this situation the husband's verbal response to his wife returning to school is positive, but his
behavioral response is negative. The wife is placed in a no-win situation. Option A: Scapegoating
refers to blaming one family member for the family's problems. Option B: Triangulation refers to
drawing in a third person to stabilize an unstable relationship between two persons. Option C:
Placating refers to a way of keeping peace within the family by taking the blame for another's
behavior.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Rationale: Because of society's negative stereotyping of the elderly as having little to offer, some
staff avoid working with older clients. Staff shortages in long-term care are often greater than those
for acute care. Elderly clients are often given less information about their conditions and are given
fewer treatment options than younger clients because some health care staff perceive them as less
able to understand. Option C: Public policy discriminates against programs for the elderly. Option
D: Anger exists because the elderly are perceived to consume a disproportionately large share of
medical resources.
