Answer to Question 1

B
All actions are appropriate and helpful; however, family issues often arise among siblings when there are differences in expectations of assistance. The nurse can best help out in this situation by assisting the caregiver to negotiate roles among the siblings.

Answer to Question 2

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
