ANS: B
The parents who anticipate future problems and seek guidance and answers are demonstrating approach behaviors. These are positive actions in caring for their child. Being unable to adjust, looking for new cures, and failing to recognize the seriousness of the child's condition are avoidance behaviors. The parents are moving away from adjustment or exhibiting maladaptation to the crisis of a child with chronic illness or disability.
