Family R is described by a neighbor: The parents are not rich, but all the kids have what they need.
  They love to see their kids behave assertively. Everybody in that family knows where they stand.
 
  The kids have great people skills like their parents. When the mother was in the hospital, their
  daughter cooked the meals and their son cleaned. Sure, they have their disagreements, but they settle
  them without grudges.. The family can be assessed as
  a. enmeshed.
  b. fragile.
  c. healthy.
  d. schizophrenogenic.

Question 2

A child, aged 10 years, is referred to the mental health clinic by the school psychologist. The child
  tells the advanced practice nurse that she wants to die because no one likes me.. She adds that the
  other girls laugh at me..
 
  She is unable to pinpoint a cause for the behavior of the other girls and does
  not think she can ever change their feelings about her. When she is asked if she has decided on a
  plan for taking her life, she states she will jump from the bridge over the river near her home some
  night after the family is asleep. She believes this will accomplish her goal because she saw her father
  throw kittens off the bridge and knows they died in the water because, like her, they couldn't swim.
  The nurse should make the assessment that suicide risk is
  a. nonexistent.
  b. low.
  c. moderate.
  d. high.

Answer to Question 1

C
The family demonstrates adequate management and flexibility, allowing for differences and
providing freedom to grow, emotional support, and good communication. All are characteristics of a
healthy family. Option A refers to blending together of roles, thoughts, and feelings of family
members. Option B refers to the lack of hardiness and resilience. Option D refers to an outmoded
concept that maternal coldness and double-bind communication produced schizophrenic offspring.

Answer to Question 2

D
The suicide risk is high. The child is experiencing feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. The
method she has chosen is lethal and the means to carry out the plan are available.
