Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Respect for varied family structures and for racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic diversity among families is essential in home care. The nurse must assess and respect the family's background and lifestyle choices. It is not appropriate to attempt to change the family. The nurse is a guest in the home and care of the child. The family and the values held by the cultural group prevail. The nurse may assess why the family is different to help the nurse and other health professionals understand the differences. It is not appropriate to determine whether the family is dysfunctional.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This type of groundwork is essential for the family. Adequate family training and preparation will assist in the child's transition home. The nursing staff in the hospital is responsible for the child's care. The family will provide the care with assistance as needed. Although parents are eager to be involved, the purpose of this intervention is the development of family competency and confidence that they are capable. Arrangements for respite care are important for the family both during hospitalizations and while the child is at home.
