Answer to Question 1

B
In the broadened sphere of maternal-child nursing, the family unit is defined by the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
There may exist an assumption among health care providers that can create an environment where traditional family concerns are not addressed. Less important factors are poor communication efforts by health care providers, short hospital stays, failure of the client to disclose family concerns.
