Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Social networks provide 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. A person who is always on the receiving end eventually becomes isolated from others. Emotional support and bonding may occur in a social network, but this is not a key component. Blood relationships are unrelated to social networks.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse can anticipate that the client will be competitive, aggressive, and impatient because these characteristics signify the type A personality. People with type B personalities do not exhibit these behaviors and generally are more relaxed, easygoing, and easily satisfied. They have an accepting attitude about trivial mistakes and use a problem-solving approach to major problems. People with type C personalities are described as having difficulty expressing emotion; being introverted, respectful, conforming, compliant, and eager to please; and avoiding conflict. They respond to stress with depression and hopelessness. A person with a type D (distressed) personality is indicated when he or she experiences increased negative emotions (depression) and pessimism, and does not share emotions.
