Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: The Model of the Childbearing Family describes the transitions that the family undertakes in their home and their lives with the birth of the first child. The nurse's role is to assist the family in identifying possible safety issues, facilitating communication among family members, and identifying interventions that can assist in meeting the emotional and physical needs of caring for a newborn.
Rationale 2: The Model of Incorporating the Unattached Young Adult encompasses the time from the young adult's leaving home and becoming financially independent until marriage.
Rationale 3: This family is not the typical nuclear family with a fulltime stay-at-home mother and a father as the only one working outside the home.
Rationale 4: There is no information to suggest that this family has been involved in divorce or remarriage.
