Answer to Question 1

B
The patient's daughter and her family were coping with care until the patient began to wander more at night. The family needs assistance with evening and night care to resume their pre-crisis state of functioning. They would benefit from periodic respite from the demands of caregiving in order to reduce distress within the family. Secondary prevention calls for the nurse to mobilize community resources to relieve overwhelming stress. The other interventions may be accomplished thereafter.

Answer to Question 2

B
When the infant's needs are consistently met, a sense of trust and self-worth develops.
