Question 2 of 5
Using Bowen’s systems approach with a family in therapy, the therapist would:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because in Bowen's systems approach, the therapist focuses on increasing the differentiation of individual family members. This means helping each member develop their own sense of self and become more autonomous within the family system. By doing so, family members can better manage their emotions and relationships, leading to healthier dynamics. Choice A is incorrect because Bowen's approach does not aim to change family principles but rather focuses on individual growth within the family system. Choice B is incorrect because the emphasis is not solely on improving communication but rather on enhancing differentiation. Choice D is incorrect because promoting more diffuse boundaries can actually lead to further dysfunction, as Bowen's approach emphasizes strengthening individual boundaries for healthier family functioning.
Question 3 of 5
Mr. and Mrs. Jones have been married for 21 years. Mr. Jones is the family breadwinner, and Mrs. Jones has never worked outside the home. Mr. Jones has always made all the decisions for the family and Mrs. Jones has always been compliant. According to the strategic model of family therapy, this is an example of which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Marital skew. In the strategic model of family therapy, marital skew refers to an imbalance of power and decision-making within a relationship where one partner dominates and the other complies. In this scenario, Mr. Jones making all decisions and Mrs. Jones being compliant indicates an unequal power dynamic, leading to marital skew. A: Marital schism typically involves extreme emotional distance and lack of communication, which is not evident in the given scenario. B: Pseudomutuality involves an appearance of harmony but lacks true emotional connection, which does not align with the power dynamics described. D: Pseudohostility refers to a facade of conflict to avoid deeper issues, which is not reflective of the submissive-dominant dynamic presented.
Question 4 of 5
The most appropriate crisis intervention with Amanda (from question 3) would be to:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because identifying community resources can provide immediate support and assistance to Amanda during the crisis. This approach focuses on practical help and solutions tailored to her specific needs. Encouraging her to recognize her luck (A) may invalidate her feelings, discussing grief stages (B) may not address her immediate needs, and suggesting finding a place with a storm shelter (D) does not directly address her current crisis.
Question 5 of 5
The most appropriate nursing intervention with Marie (from question 9) would be to:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because Marie is experiencing empty nest syndrome, a common emotional response when children leave home. Grief work helps her process and cope with the loss, while recognizing self-worth beyond motherhood promotes self-identity. Referring her to a physician (A) may not address her emotional needs. Seeking outside employment (B) may not address her emotional concerns. Identifying support systems (C) is helpful but doesn't directly address her need for grief work and self-worth recognition.
