While conducting a family assessment, the nurse determines that a particular family's structure is binuclear. Some potential challenges inherently faced by binuclear families include:
 
  1. Challenges related to co-parenting and joint custody, including negotiation and compromise between the parents about childrearing decisions.
  2. Issues related to both parents being employed, including child care, household chores, and spending time together.
  3. Challenges related to children interacting with peers and when revealing their parents' sexual orientation.
  4. Issues related to single parenting, including lack of social and emotional support, need for assistance with childrearing, and financial strain.

Question 2

The nurse knows the birth rate by age group in the state. Which research question could be developed for further study from this data?
 
  1. What is the average number of children per family in the United States?
  2. How does educational level affect the incidence of unplanned pregnancy?
  3. What is the overall nutritional status of adolescents?
  4. Which high schools provide day care for student parents?

Answer to Question 1

Props to you, cheers.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Determining the average number of children nationally will not yield additional information about this state.
Rationale 2: Research questions often come from a nurse's desire to further understand an issue. How educational level affects the incidence of unplanned pregnancy is a question that flows from the known data of birth rate by age group.
Rationale 3: Studying the nutritional status of adolescents will not yield additional information about this state.
Rationale 4: Schools that provide student parent day care might indicate the incidence of teen pregnancy in the population served by the school but not pregnancy rates of those who are not in high school.
