Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Children 4 years of age and younger are often not included in ongoing family therapy sessions. They may misinterpret or be frightened by the dialogue. In addition, small children tend to be disruptive. The children are not expected to help the client.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: During the 19th century, psychiatric nurses attended mainly to the physical needs of clients and did not pursue systematic interpersonal work with them. Psychiatric nursing practice was primarily custodial. Nursing care that systematically addresses anxiety, coping, and altered-thought processes did not come about until the mid 20th century.
