Answer to Question 1

C
The party's stands on specific issues are called planks, which come together to form a platform, which represents the consensus of party delegates on specific issues of importance to the party leaders.
The party votes on issues during the political conventions, which then become the basis of arguments made during a political race.
The financing means of the convention is not known as a plank.
The supporters of various programs are not known as planks.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
The nurse's role when using this theory is to use nursing interventions designed to alter the perception of the threat level and promote and support the coping process. By teaching the family how the patient's condition will be managed, the nurse is helping to reduce the perception of the threat. Assessing previous coping methods helps support the coping process. The other actions are not related to this theory.
