Answer to Question 1
A
To assess the family structure, the nurse asks questions that determine the power structure and patterning of roles and tasks (e.g., Who decides where to go on vacation?). When focusing on family form, the nurse should begin the family assessment by determining the patient's definition of family. Family function is the ability of the family to provide emotional support and to cope with health problems or situations. The question asked above will not assess that. It is imperative to remember that categorical generalizations are misleading and should be avoided.
