Vulnerable groups and families often have multiple risk factors. An example of this is:

1. Smokers who use chewing tobacco as well as cigarettes
2. Substance abusers who test positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and who are homeless
3. Persons with limited access to care because they live in a rural area
4. New mothers needing information about baby and child care

Question 2

A nurse makes a home visit where there are a number of people. The client says that several people are in her family who are not related. The nurse should:

1. Ask the client how they are related to him or her
2. Ask each nuclear member to identify his or her health needs
3. Tell the client that since the people are not related they are not considered family
4. Accept the client's definition of family
