Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

The adolescent values communication with peers and may feel frustrated that he cannot speak to them while intubated. The adolescent is present, not future, oriented and is unlikely to worry about household chores or future unknown procedures. The adolescent with cystic fibrosis is likely to be underweight and is unlikely to take in more calories than needed while intubated.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The family has experienced a devastating loss. The family's ability to cope has been compromised and the nurse will also assess their external support systems. The family is not in a state of readiness yet. There is no evidence that the family is dysfunctional or that any family member is experiencing ineffective coping.
