Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Individuals and families caring for family members with a chronic disease like schizophrenia are at risk for a variety of physical and emotional problems related to caregiver role strain. At this point in time there is no data to support the family is experiencing social isolation. The diagnosis of self-care deficit relates specifically to the client and not part of a comprehensive family-centered plan of care. There is no data to support an active diagnosis of activity intolerance or knowledge deficit.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: A client has the right to understand the treatment process prior to consenting to treatment. This is called informed consent and is required by all states. Staff members do not control clients, but work with clients. Duty to protect is a safeguard that is an exception to confidentiality and privilege. Confidentiality is the mechanism to ensure the client's privacy.
