Answer to Question 1

D
In Duvall's traditional family development theory, the birth of a new child is a critical transition point. The nurse may give tremendous support to both mother and father regarding the tasks typically associated with families with infants.

Answer to Question 2

A
Stage three of substance abuse (regular use) indicates that the adolescent has progressed to midweek use to get high and will benefit from participation in drug-free self-help groups and family therapy. Family intervention is also an important part of treatment, because the issues surrounding the problem of adolescent use must be addressed for the whole family affected. The remaining options are demonstrating interventions that the client has either progressed past or has yet arrived at the stage where they could be effective.
