Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The client reports the desire to get out of bed and is showering, eating, and contacting friends and family members. These are all indications that the client's depression is improving. This is not an indication of risk for harm, denial of the diagnosis, or the need for assistance with activities of daily living.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

An authoritarian setting is one in which one or more members set firm, nonnegotiable limits and other members may be cautious in expressing their feelings because of power struggles, hostility, or anger. Nurses should pay special attention to who does the talking for the family, which members are silent, how disagreements are handled, and how well the members listen to one another and encourage the participation of others. Nonverbal communication is important because it gives valuable clues about what people are feeling. Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion. Verbal communication should be congruent with nonverbal cues. Listening is an art, and not all members of a family need to speak in the same setting.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
