The nurse is leading a therapy session dealing with group guidelines. The nurse is confident that a chronically late patient is demonstrating a maintenance role when she states:
a. "I guess the reason I'm chronically late is that I don't particularly value what we do in here. Who believes that this stuff really works outside this group?"
b. "I know that I struggle to be on time, too. Can we agree to try to be on time and that we will start the group session after waiting only 5 minutes?"
c. "Although the rules were agreed on by everyone when the group was formed, I believe we should review them now.".
d. "I thought we agreed last week that the rule was that everyone needed to be on time if possible.".
B
Maintenance roles include the roles of "harmonizer" and "rule maker.". The correct option reflects both roles. The remaining options demonstrate disharmony or rule breaking.
