Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Home care of a child can place a heavy burden on a family as the stress of being responsible for an ill child's daily health status can have a negative impact on a parent's self-esteem. The statement that the mother has adjusted to the situation indicates readiness for enhanced coping. The mother is not demonstrating hopelessness, health-seeking behaviors, or compromised coping.
