Often, the admission of a family member to the hospital creates conflict and stress for family members.
 
  This is the case for the White family, who ask the nurse caring for an elderly family member multiple questions and for explanations about their father's recent admission to the hospital for pancreatitis. Which of the following environmental factors is supportive of family-focused nursing care? 1. Prior family priorities and routines assist the health-care team to concentrate on the family's perceptions of priorities of care.
  2. Multiple questions suggest that family members are not absorbing the information that is being provided to them; they need to be provided with more online resources to use at times that are convenient for them.
  3. The family is likely to be disagreeing with one another about what should be happening with the care of their father; the nurse should seek out a key family member to discuss concerns rather than meeting with the entire family.
  4. Information needs to be given in understandable language, with the use of pictures drawn to illustrate concepts starting at the time of admission to the hospital.

Question 2

Which of the following statements regarding computer-based training (CBT) are true? Select all that apply.
 
  1. The accompanying materials require little trainer attention beforehand.
  2. Retention is enhanced because technology is used to teach technology.
  3. CBT facilitates mastery learning.
  4. Vendor-supplied materials require no specific customization.
  5. CBT is less costly to develop and revise.

Answer to Question 1

1, 4
Rationale:
Family priorities for care may be different from those of the health-care team; being able to share these is supportive of family-focused nursing care. Online resources are helpful to augment information being provided by nurses and other health-care team members, however it may not be at the reading level of the family member or directly address the questions in understandable language for the family. Hospitalization of a family member is a family experience and, as such, all of those affected by the hospitalization should be included in discussions about care, rather than connecting with one member of the family. Beliefs about which family members should be present during decision-making are to be respected by health-care providers. The information provided to families by nurses needs to be tailored to the family's health literacy level and be consistent among members of the health-care team. Diagrams can be very helpful to facilitate family understanding of an illness condition.

Answer to Question 2

2,3
Rationale: The correct answers are: retention of the material is enhanced because technology is used to teach technology, and mastery learning is facilitated. CBT is time and labor intensive to develop and revise; its materials require great trainer attention beforehand, and vendor-supplied materials are seldom useful unless they are customized.
