Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
An enabler is a common role in families with addictions. The enabler makes excuses for the addicted person's behavior. The patient's behavior allows the spouse to continue with the addiction without being held accountable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This child's presentation is suspicious. If child abuse is suspected, the nurse should question the child privately. In all situations the nurse is legally obligated to report the abuse to the proper investigating agency.
