Question 2 of 5
A young female member in a therapy group says to an older female member, You are just like my mother, always trying to control me with your observations and suggestions. Which therapeutic factor of a group is evident by this behavior?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The younger patient is demonstrating an emotional attachment to the older patient that mirrors patterns within her own family of origin, a phenomenon called corrective recapitulation of the primary family group. Feedback from the group then helps the member gain insight about this behavior and leads to more effective ways of relating to her family members. Instillation of hope involves conveying optimism and sharing progress. Existential resolution refers to the realization that certain existential experiences such as death are part of life, aiding the adjustment to such realities. Development of socializing techniques involves gaining social skills through the groups feedback and practice within the group.
Question 3 of 5

Focusing on trust and confidentiality typically occur in the orientation phase as part of establishing group norms. Commonality and universality are also themes typically expressed in the orientation phase, whereas reflecting on progress is a task addressed in the termination phase.
Question 4 of 5
During a support group, a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia says, Sometimes I feel sad that I will never have a good job like my brother. Then I dwell on it and maybe I should not. Select the nurse leaders best comment to facilitate discussion of this issue.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Asking others to share their experiences will facilitate discussion of an issue. Giving information may serve to close discussion of the issue because it sounds final. Suggesting a focus on the positives implies a discussion of the issue is not appropriate. Suggesting other possible feelings is inappropriate at this point, considering the patient has identified feelings of sadness and seems to have a desire to explore this feeling. Focusing on other feelings will derail discussion of the patients grief for his perceived lost potential.
