Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The rapidly escalating divorce rate of families found in the 1970s and 1980s has leveled off and remained relatively constant since 1990 with subsequently about 43 and 46 of marriages that ended in divorce. As cohabitation has become more acceptable, less divorced people are getting remarried, but this does not make the divorce rate more difficult to measure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The study of family and household structures and events that alter that structure is called family demographics. Family functions are the ways in which families meet the needs of each family member, the family as a whole, and their relationship to society. Family structure refers to the characteristics and demographics of individual members who make up family units. Family nurs-ing is a philosophy and a science that is based on the following assumptions: health and illness are family events; what affects one family member affects the whole family; and health care practices, decision, and behaviors are made within the context of the family.
