Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. Stepfamilies where both adults have children from a previous marriage living with them have the greatest incidence of redivorce.
B Incorrect. A couple without children from one or both previous marriages at home does not encounter the same issues, and is less likely to redivorce as compared to a stepfamily with children from two previous families.
C Incorrect. A couple with children from a previous marriage from one partner only is less likely to redivorce as compared to a stepfamily with children from two previous families.
D Incorrect. A couple with children from a previous marriage from one partner only expecting the birth of their child is less likely to redivorce as compared to a stepfamily with children from two previous families.

Answer to Question 2

B
Children often deal with their stressors through play. The nurse will look at the drawing and use this to assess fears. The child may also say something about the drawing that will give the nurse clues to what the child is feeling. The ability to draw a picture will not indicate that the child is functioning normally, just that the child is able to accomplish this task.
