Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Providing education to the family and caregiver helps relieve some of the stress of caregiving. Help the family focus on their strengths instead of on problems and weaknesses. While caregivers desire to care for the loved one, they often feel extreme pressure to do everything; therefore, encouraging the caregiver to do more will add stress. Focusing primarily on the patient will not be beneficial; the entire family is the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
More grandparents are raising their grandchildren. The majority of women work outside the home, and about 60 of mothers are in the workforce. The majority of adolescent mothers continue to live with their families. Teenage fathers usually have poorer support systems and fewer resources to teach them how to parent.
