The term yardstick refers to what is a normal response. It really has nothing to do with a yardstick and can be used in many situations. A yardstick is a measurement that has been tested over and over and than that measurement becomes the standard.
Say the yardstick for a reaction time is 5 seconds
Meaning that is what a normal healthy person can do it in.
Joan has the reaction in 4.8 second. Well she is on the the bell curve and did better than the yardstick test measure.

Answer:
A) "How is not working right now affecting you?"
Explanation:
According to the norms of responsible parenting, the client should be working to support his family. However due to his condition, he is not working right now. If the nurse would have addressed this problem directly, it could have sounded very negative and hurt the client's sentiments. Since he is already not keeping well, any such negative remark can further make him unwell.
Instead the nurse found a positive way to address this situation. She asked him about his feelings and experiences after quitting the job. In this way she is bringing up the topic of quitting the job but also taking in consideration the client's sentiments. When the client answers this question and the conversation begins, the nurse can subsequently inquire about his family and their financial issue too.
I'm almost positive that this is DNA. LMK if I'm correct.
