Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The Chinese culture values the male child more than the female child, and often teaches children to avoid showing emotion. The other cultures do not have this component.

Answer to Question 2

Correct 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.
