Multiple choice
1. A nurse is working with a patient who is newly married and pregnant and says she is
distressed because she and her husband seem to be so different, and they argue over petty
issues. What action by the nurse using group theory would be best?
A. Ask the patient if she can remember why she and her husband fell in love.
B. Caution her that this level of disagreement will cause stress to the unborn baby.
C. Offer the patient a referral to a community counseling center for couples’ therapy.
D. Reassure her that this is normal and help her brainstorm ways to work cooperatively.
Ans>> d
Feedback:.
A. Asking about their early relationship does not give the patient information that will
help the present situation.
B. Warning the patient about the negative effects of stress on her unborn baby sounds
judgmental and threatening.
C. A referral for counseling might be needed at a future date.
D. According to group theory, groups evolve through the distinct stages of forming,
storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. Storming often occurs when a
group that has recently formed notices differences in members, leading to chaos or
confusion. This couple is in this stage. At this point, the nurse’s best action is to
reassure the patient and help her brainstorm ways of working together
cooperatively, which might include forming rules or procedures that both parties
Agree to follow.
