Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
According to this family theory, birth order plays an important role in predicting certain patterns of behavior. Spouses who occupy the same birth order may have difficulty functioning together. In this case, both spouses probably are first-borns with a need for control. The other questions may yield helpful information as part of a thorough assessment, but are not related to this theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Children whose parents have a laissez-faire disciplinary style tend to be disrespectful, aggressive, and disobedient. A laissez-faire disciplinary style includes inconsistent use of discipline, allowing children (rather than the parents) control over the environment, few rules, and children making their own decisions rather than being guided by parents. The other options may be true, but without further assessment, the nurse cannot make those conclusions.
