Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The goal of family-centered nursing care is to promote, support, and provide for the well-being and health of the family and individual family members. While the other options are appropriate goals, they are not the primary goal because promoting, supporting, and providing for the well-being and health of the family and individual family members will result in this option

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
In recognition of the pattern of family violence, the nurse knows that spouses are the most fre-quent abusers. Child abuse is increasing, not decreasing. Mental illness may increase the inci-dence of abuse within a family, but is not a major cause of abuse. Emotional, physical, and sexual abuse occurs across all social classes.
