The family is an important environment affecting the health of individuals and a social unit whose health is basic to that of the community at large. What is learned within family struc-tures?
 
  1. Smoking habits and heart disease
  2. Health values, health habits, and health risk perception
  3. Health risks that must be assumed by all family members
  4. Caring for chronically ill family members

Question 2

Emergency response personnel are unique in that they dedicate their time and energy to assisting persons during stressful times of their lives. However, nurses who work with survi-vors of disasters may be at risk for vicarious traumatization.
 
  How does this occur? 1. The nurse sustains an injury during the disaster.
  2. Exhaustion and the inability to adjust to the pace at home occurs.
  3. Frustration and conflict lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.
  4. It can be a response to listening to survivors' stories about traumatic events.
