Answer to Question 1

B
This reply acknowledges the patient's perceptions and gently casts doubt on the reality of the patient's conclusions through the use of an I statement. It is not argumentative or accusative.

Answer to Question 2

B
Interactions among all family members are the raw material for family problem solving. By observing interactions, the nurse can help the family make its own assessments of strengths and deficits. The other options are too narrow in scope when compared with the correct option.
