Answer to Question 1

2

Feedback
1 Identifying the strengths will only provide a limited picture of the family.
2 Assessment of the core process will provide direction for family nursing.
3 The individual and family health are related. The priority may be the family.
4 Focusing on the symptoms may limit the effectiveness of the visit by not addressing concerns of individual or family.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Interface connections between different information systems are invisible to the user. Vendors often claim their products are based on open systems technology, which is the ability to communicate with other systems. The reality is there has been little incentive for vendors to market products that readily work with their competitors' products. Interfaces do not require HL7 devices; open systems technology is a concept; and interfaces do not physically join systems.
