While CBT can help with understanding feelings and thoughts, it doesn’t provide all the answers about why something happened.
Choice B rationale
CBT focuses on thoughts and behaviors, not medical treatments.
Choice C rationale

Planning funeral and burial services is not a typical part of CBT.
Choice D rationale
CBT can help individuals cope with loss and figure out how to move forward, making this the correct answer. Please note that these rationales are based on general nursing knowledge and may not be entirely accurate for these specific questions. For the most accurate information, please refer to your nursing textbooks or speak with a healthcare professional.

Choice A rationale
Families that are isolated from other people, such as extended family, friends, and neighbors, are not typically considered a protective factor against adverse childhood experiences. Social isolation can actually increase the risk of mental health issues, as it can lead to feelings of loneliness and lack of social support.
Choice B rationale
Families where caregivers have college degrees or higher can often provide a more stable environment, both emotionally and financially. Higher levels of education are often linked to

better understanding of child development and more effective parenting strategies. Additionally, higher education is often associated with higher income, which can reduce stressors related to financial instability.
Choice C rationale
Families that include young caregivers or single parents can face additional stressors, such as financial strain and lack of social support, which can increase the risk of adverse childhood experiences. Therefore, this is not typically considered a protective factor.
Choice D rationale
Children who don’t feel close to their guardians and don’t feel loved are at a higher risk of developing mental health disorders. Feeling unloved and uncared for can lead to feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, and difficulty forming healthy relationships later in life.
