Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The parents need time together as a couple without other family members and without the re-sponsibility of the client's care. None of the other options provides time together without others present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Medication noncompliance leads to recurrence of psychiatric symptoms and problematic behav-iors. A major factor in medication noncompliance is the unacceptability of side effects to the cli-ent. Options 1 and 3 are not NANDA diagnoses. Option 4 is not a primary reason for the phe-nomenon in question.
