Answer to Question 1

D
Before proceeding, the nurse needs to have a better understanding of what happened in the interaction between the patient and family. The correct option seeks that clarification, whereas none of the other options takes that approach.

Answer to Question 2

C
Arborization, or branching of dendrites, is a process that continues into adolescence. Some authorities have suggested that this might account for the appearance of schizophrenia at this period in life. The other options are of no relevance.
