Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The stage 1 family has to learn how to get along with three new families (the wife's family, the husband's family, and the new family created by the husband and wife), which sometimes requires negotiation. The client does not need anti-anxiety medications, as this is a normal developmental task of a new family. There is no information that the client lacks support or requires additional support.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is often applied to nursing assessment, diagnosis, and planning.
