Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This statement shows the family has made an effort to improve communication and deal with alienation without any one member bearing complete responsibility. Withdrawing from the team suggests he felt solely responsible for the family problem. Quitting the job suggests the mother saw herself as responsible; however, being home does not guarantee unification. A lack of advisement suggests withdrawal of the father from participation in family matters.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse's role in therapeutic activities is that of a professional observer and participant who works with the therapist to enhance the patient's capabilities and functioning within the pa-rameters of the assigned activity. Assuring accomplishment, compliance, or providing failure support are not nursing roles.
