Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Caregivers are typically spouses, who may be older adults with declining physical stamina, or middle-age children, who often have other responsibilities. Abuse of older adults in families occurs across all social classes. Later-life families have a different social network than younger families because friends and same-generation family members often have died or have been ill themselves. The nurse should assess for caregiver stress such as tension in relationships between family and care recipient, changes in level of health, changes in mood, and anxiety and depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When initiating the care of families, three factors organize the family approach to the nursing process: (1) that the nurse views all individuals within their family context, (2) that families have an impact on individuals, and (3) that individuals have an impact on families.
