Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion..
Rationale 2: Nonverbal communication is important because it gives valuable clues about what people are feeling. Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion. Verbal communication should be congruent with nonverbal cues.
Rationale 3: Listening is an art, and not all members of a family need to speak in the same setting.
Rationale 4: This option describes an authoritarian setting where other members may be cautious in expressing their feelings because of power struggles, hostility, or anger. Nurses should pay special attention to who does the talking for the family, which members are silent, how disagreements are handled, and how well the members listen to one another and encourage the participation of others.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: coping mechanisms or family coping mechanisms
Rationale : Family coping mechanisms are behaviors that families use to deal with stress or changes imposed from either within or without. The coping mechanisms families and individuals develop reflect their individual resourcefulness. The assessment of coping mechanisms is a way to determine how families relate to stress.
