Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale:Compromised family coping related to the effects of multiple simultaneous stressors best fits the multiple crises to which this family is responding. The spica cast may require alteration in family functioning;however, fractures are generally not considered a significant long-term disability.Lack of family members and lack of respite support was not mentioned in the scenario. Diagnosis

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale:Establishment of a trusting relationship between the family and the nurse is the essential preliminary step in obtaining an accurate family assessment. There is benefit when the tool used matches the family's strengths and resources;however,selecting the most relevant family-assessment tool is not indispensable to accuracy in the assessment.Focusing primarily upon the mother while learning her greatest concern is counterproductive and prevents the nurse from acknowledging multiple perceptions held by the family's members.Observing the family in the home setting is only recommended in some cases.
