Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Adults in a healthy family communicate with each other, so there is minimal discord in areas such as discipline and sleep schedules. Healthy families remain flexible in their role assignments. Members of a healthy family accept assistance without feeling guilty. Healthy families can tolerate irregular sleep and meal schedules, which are common during the months after childbirth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E, F
The pediatric nurse's role includes promoting disease prevention, providing support and counseling, establishing a therapeutic relationship, and participating in ethical decision making; a pediatric nurse does not need to establish lifelong friendships or provide financial assistance to children and their families. Boundaries should be set and clear.
