Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The highest level on the hierarchy of basic human needs is for self-actualization, which includes acceptance of self and others, reaching one's full potential, and feelings of happiness and affection for others.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The role of the nurse in reducing risk factors involves activities that promote health for all family members at any level of development. This consideration supersedes the importance of validating the family's current way of being or enlisting the help of others. Introducing the family to a model family is ethically and logistically questionable.
