Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The primary purpose of the family assessment is to guide the personalized plan of care for the family. While the assessment may reveal the family dysfunction, aid in the therapeutic nurse-family relationship, and help determine the diagnosis of the family, these are not the primary purpose of the family assessment.
