The nurse is working with a family of five: the mother, father, and three children. The children are constantly exposed to hostility and aggressive behaviors by both parents. The nurse knows that these children will be more likely to:
1. Run away from home at the time of adolescence.
2. Commit suicide.
3. Display these same behaviors themselves.
4. Become submissive adults.
Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Research has shown consistently that children exposed to hostility and aggressive behaviors by other family members are more likely to display these same behaviors themselves. There is no evidence to support that children exposed to hostility and aggressive behaviors by both parents will run away from home, commit suicide, or become submissive adults.
