Answer to Question 1

B
This type of family structure is considered attenuatedsingle parent with children. A nuclear family is one with parents and children. An incipient structure consists of a married couple without children. A blended family is one that has a married couple with children from previous marriages.

Answer to Question 2

D
When caring for a patient who does not speak English, every effort should be made to obtain a qualified interpreter. For many reasons, using family members, hospital staff not hired for interpreting, or other patients or their families results in less than optimal care for the patient who does not speak English.
