A family with a member who has been diagnosed with a chronic disease process has been in family counseling
When the family begins to develop their own image of the disease process and expectations of mental health professionals, the nurse is aware that they have reached Stage 2 of family recovery, which consists of which of the following? 1. Personal and political advocacy
2. Recognition and acceptance
3. Coping and recognition
4. Acceptance and coping
2. Recognition and acceptance
Rationale:
Stage 2 of family recovery is one of recognition and acceptance. As it becomes more evident that there is a significant problem, the family begins to search for reasons and solutions by gathering available information. Families begin to develop their own image of the disease process and expectations of mental health professionals. Many families also hope for what was in the past and for what might be in the future. Personal and political advocacy occurs in the final stage of recovery. Coping and competence, not recognition or acceptance, occur in Stage 3.

The nurse monitors the blood glucose levels of a patient being treated with insulin for diabetic ketoacidosis to ensure glucose levels decline at the rate of 50-70 mg/dL/hour because:
1. When blood glucose drops rapidly fluids shift out of the cell, which increases dehydration, causing severe hypovolemic shock. 2. When blood glucose drops rapidly severe damage to the brain results from metabolic alkalosis. 3. A rapid drop in blood glucose can result in hypokalemia, causing life-threatening arrhythmias. 4. A rapid drop in blood glucose can result in formation of thromboses as a result of dehydration.
