Answer to Question 2

A
The nurse should understand that family composition and roles have dramatically changed. Mothers are increasingly employed outside the home. The number of single mothers has also risen. The family has a tremendous influence on the health and well-being of the infant. Children may be raised by two parents, one parent, grandparents, or foster caregivers.
