Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B
The correct responses demonstrate fulfillment of the role as a parent. The distracters indicate the professor has not cared for the sick child in an effective way. Taking the child to a daycare center exposes other children to a potential infection. Taking the child to one's office does not keep the child comfortable or provide for the child while the professor is teaching.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The caregiver is the focus of the nurse's attention. The professor is under stress, related to the conflict between his parenting and professional roles. This scenario presents a decisional conflict. No evidence suggests that family coping is disabled or that a therapeutic regimen is not managed. Unilateral neglect refers to the awareness of the body.
