Answer to Question 1

The correct order is 3, 4, 1, 2
Rationale: Cermak in 1986 identified four stages in the recovery process for individuals with codependent personality: During the survival stage, the codependent must begin to let go of denial. During the reidentification stage, the individual begins to glimpse their true selves. During the core issues stage, the individual must face the fact that relationships cannot be managed by force or will. During the reintegration stage, control is achieved through self-discipline and self-confidence.
1. The Survival Stage
2. The Reidentification Stage
3. The Core Issues Stage
4. The Reintegration Stage

Answer to Question 2

D
The prevalence for Alzheimer's disease is 10 for persons older than 65 and 50 for persons older than 85 . The prevalence of schizophrenia is 1.1 per year. The prevalence of bipolar disorder is 2.6. It is important for the nurse to provide information rather than probe the reason for the person's question.
