Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Conducting assessments of the family with genograms is within the scope of practice of the advanced practice psychiatricmental health nurse. Performing psychological testing, prescribing medications, and writing discharge orders are not within the legal scope of the generalist psychiatric nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The correct answer reflects the movement of the 14-year-old child out of the family of origin and toward spending more time with peers, which is a normal developmental task at this stage of the family's growth according to Duvall.
