Question 2

A nurse is conducting a family assessment and is focusing, for the moment, on the family members' communication patterns. Which observation indicates that there are existing or potential problems with family communication?

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The baby may have an untreated condition, but chronic cold symptoms are not evidence of abuse.
Rationale 2: A child who doesn't speak and is watchful when parents are near would be a significant indicator of a possible abuse situation.
Rationale 3: Dirty clothes or clothes not meeting the nurse's standards are not signs of abusemaybe for this family, appearance is not a high priority.
Rationale 4: Not having a regular physician would be a concern for health promotion and maintenance, but not for abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion.
Rationale 2: Nonverbal communication is important because it gives valuable clues about what people are feeling. Even though some members are more vocal, at least all are participating in the discussion. Verbal communication should be congruent with nonverbal cues.
Rationale 3: Listening is an art, and not all members of a family need to speak in the same setting.
Rationale 4: This option describes an authoritarian setting where other members may be cautious in expressing their feelings because of power struggles, hostility, or anger. Nurses should pay special attention to who does the talking for the family, which members are silent, how disagreements are handled, and how well the members listen to one another and encourage the participation of others.
