Answer to Question 1

C
The description fits the definition for an extended family, which can consist of various biological relatives and also nonrelatives who live together or in close proximity. A blended family consists of two single parents who marry and raise their children together. Although extended family arrangements may occur in some cultures, this is not the best response to the nurse's interpretation of the family living arrangement.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
Psychosocial information is personal and sometimes sensitive. To encourage patients to share this information, the nurse will need to use good communication skills. For example, be aware of your own biases and discomforts that could influence your assessment, use active listening, proceed from general details and questions to specific details and questions, use an open and positive tone of voice, use open-ended questions (not yes and no questions), and be respectful and sensitive to cultural and gender-specific details. This does not mean you should avoid questions related to culture and gender.
