Answer to Question 1

A, C
The most appropriate interventions for this family are to collaborate with them in problem-solving and decision making and to encourage each member to verbalize his concerns, fears, and perceptions. Roles for each member should not be assigned by the nurse, as this should be a collaborative process between the nurse and family. Obtaining a comprehensive health history is not indicated at this time, as there are no health issues identified and a health history is usually only relevant for a family assessment if it affects an individual family member.
Although it is not given as an option, conducting a comprehensive family assessment may be indicated. That would include identifying data; family composition; family history and developmental stage; environmental data; family structure; family function; health beliefs, values, and behaviors; family stressors and coping; and abuse and violence within the family.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Genomics can be used to personalize a patient's plan of care by identifying at-risk individuals for certain conditions so more effective preventive care can be provided, more accurately detecting illness, even before symptoms appear, tailoring healthcare to the individual while reducing a trial-and-error approach, evaluating a person's response to the care, and helping to understand how people respond differently to particular drugs and medical treatments. There is no evidence to support that the use of genomics and genograms has any effect on trust. Many individuals and families have an intense skepticism or mistrust of medical care and hospitals based on their own health belief systems or on past experiences with medical care and hospitals.
