Answer to Question 1

2, 3, 4
Rationale: During the orientation phase of group development, the nurse leader should work together with members to establish rules that will govern the group. The leader should ensure that group rules do not interfere with goal fulfillment and establish the need for and importance of confidentiality within the group. Members need to establish trust and cohesion in order to move into the working phase.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: A psychiatric registered nurse is qualified to lead a parenting group. A parenting group can be classified as either a teaching group or therapeutic group. Psychodrama, psychotherapy, and family therapy are forms of group therapy and must be lead by qualified leaders who generally have advanced degrees in psychology, social work, nursing, or medicine.
