Answer to Question 1

B
The Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) is a framework nurses follow to do a thorough family assessment. The CFAM focuses on three major categories of family life: the structural dimension, the developmental dimension, and the functional dimension.
Although the CFAM may lead to the identification of the most influential health determinants on the family, this is not its main focus.
Providing guidelines for conducting family interviews does not reflect the nature of CFAM.
Effectively matching the family with appropriate community resources is an intervention that the nurse may use after evaluating the family using the CFAM framework.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
