Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Emotional support from social support is evidenced by attachment, reassurance, and being able to rely on and confide in a person. The statement about having someone to talk to reflects this. The statements about cutting the lawn and the grant for groceries reflect tangible support. The statement about the medication booklet reflects informational support.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The patient is describing reciprocity, opportunities for give and take. Network members both provide and receive support, aid, services, and information. Reciprocity is particularly important because most friendships do not last without the give and take of support and services. Denseness is the size of the network and the interconnectedness of the individuals in that network. Social support refers to the positive interpersonal interactions that occur as part of a dynamic process that is in constant flux. Constraints are personal and environmental limitations.
