Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1

Feedback
1 Coordinated family care relies upon collection of information about the family as a unit. Assessing the family household, including living conditions where health and illness occur, gives the nurse important information to plan care.
2 An assessment of family dynamics is obtained through a comprehensive assessment of the family as a unit; it is not obtained through the cooperation of family members in coordinating care.
3 The skill of the nurse is not applied to provide an accurate picture of the nurse-individual-family relationship, but to collect information about the family as a unit in order to plan care, and to develop the nurse-individual-family relationship.
4 Coordinated family care relies upon a comprehensive family assessment, not simply on assessment of family functioning. Family processes need to be assessed in addition to family functioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2

Feedback
1 Family functioning is only one aspect of a comprehensive family assessment. To maintain a broad-minded stance, the nurse uses a family nursing model, framework, or theory in its entirety.
2 Clarity of assessment benefits when the nurse takes a broad-minded perspective and considers multiple health determinants in any health situation at the individual, family, or community level. One way to maintain a broad-minded stance is to guide the nursing assessment in an organized way by using a family nursing model or theory or a family science model or theory, such as the Family Health Model.
