Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The family health tree is based on the genogram of the current generationsthat is, parents, their children, and their own parents. Spouses and past generations aren't included. The family health tree provides a mechanism for recording the family's medical and health histories. The nurse should note causes of death of deceased family members, genetically linked diseases, and lifestyle-related risk factors (i.e., by asking what family members do to handle stress and keep in shape). The family health tree can be used in planning positive familial influences on risk factors such as diet, exercise, coping with stress, or pressure to have a physical examination.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The ecomap is another classic tool that is used to depict a family's linkages to their suprasystems. The nurse can note people, institutions, and agencies significant to the family with some notations as to the nature of the ties that exist. Knowing what resources the family is currently able to assess will help the nurse know what resources to suggest to the family.
