Answer to Question 1

C
The term extended family is used to describe a family in which the patient lives with others who are related by blood or marriage. A nuclear family consists of parents and their children. The terms traditional and nontraditional may be used to describe a family according to gender roles and employment status. Household is a less precise term referring to a residence consisting of an individual living alone or a group of people sharing a common dwelling and cooking facilities.

F
