Answer to Question 1

B
The younger client is demonstrating an emotional attachment to the older client that is similar to a
relationship within a nuclear family. This phenomenon is called corrective recapitulation of the
primary family group. Group feedback provides learning about the behavior. Option A: A hidden
agenda refers to having goals that are at cross purposes to the group's goals. Option C: Imitative
behavior refers to copying behavior from the leader or peers. Option D: Resistance refers to the
inability to accept change.

Answer to Question 2

A
Before proceeding with any further assessment, the nurse should assess the client's ability to hear
questions. Impaired hearing could lead to inaccurate answers.
