Answer to Question 1

D
The most appropriate outcome for the termination phase of the nurse-client relationship would focus on the client's behaviors indicating readiness to independently resume preepisodic social role functions. It is during the termination phase that the nurse and client evaluate progress and determine that the client is ready to move on and to establish new patterns of interacting without the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

D
Research on families can include basic family research, family intervention research, and family-related research. In each of these areas of research, the conceptualization, measurement, and analysis aspects view the family as a unit or system and thus contribute to the knowledge of family functioning.
