Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It is important for some families to construct a genogram because it shows family history and patterns of health-related information. A genogram does not allow the nurse to diagnose disease patterns or bring the family together. An ecomap provides a visual diagram of the family unit in relation to other subsystems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A genogram enhances the nurse's ability to make clinical judgments and connect them to family structure and history. An ecomap shows the nature of the relationship among and between family members and the community. A family intervention is used to work with the entire family to as-sist with identifying the primary problem confronting the family and accept the family as the pri-ority. A family assessment is a way for a nurse to gather information from a family by using reli-able and valid short assessment instruments that are specifically focused on the relevant family situation.
