Answer to Question 1

A
The family's beliefs, values, culture, and practices strongly influence the health-promoting behaviors of its members. When the family satisfactorily meets its goals through adequate functioning, its members tend to feel positive about themselves and their family. Conversely, when they do not meet goals, families view themselves as ineffective. Good health is not always highly valued; in fact, harmful practices are acceptable in some families. Some of these practices might include poor dietary habits, such as high-calorie, high-fat diets. A long-term illness in one of the family members affects the well-being and health of the entire family. In addition, long-term habits such as smoking also influence the health of members in the family unit.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because nurses have a limited amount of time with patients, it is essential to remain goal oriented and focused on patients' priorities. For example, priorities of care help you determine which procedures you perform first, patient assessments that you will do on an ongoing basis, and the anticipated response of your patient to care activities. The better you manage yourself leads to better management of your time. Patient priorities take precedence over nursing tasks, medication schedules, and ancillary procedures.
