Answer to Question 1

D
Developmental theories focus on the stage of development of each family member, usually based on age or growth stage. These theories have developmental tasks that should be accomplished at each stage of development to successfully progress and master the next stage. These stages begin at birth and continue through old age. Thus, each child will have different developmental tasks based on his or her age and stage of development; because tasks are different, so are each child's needs.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse is viewing the family as a system because the nurse is providing information based on the wife's response that will benefit the entire family. The family is a part of a community and thus should interact or incorporate community resources into their health care plan. A system approach looks beyond the immediate family and views the community and its resources as a part of the suprasystem.
