Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
When implementing family-centered care, the nurse adopts the role of educator and offers in-formation about necessary self-care abilities. In family-centered care, the nurse guides the family in problem solving without providing his/her own beliefs. In family-centered care, the nurse as-sists clients to assume independent roles by increasing family members' abilities in certain areas. In family-centered care, the nurse guides the family in problem solving, not in helping them ac-cept blame.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The nurse begins the family assessment by determining the client's definition of and attitude to-ward family and the extent to which the family may be incorporated into nursing care. The nurse also assesses family form and membership. Gathering health data from the family members is not the starting point for a family assessment. Testing a family's ability to cope is not where the nurse should begin a family assessment. Evaluating communication barriers would not be an initial ac-tion of the nurse when completing a client's family assessment.
