Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
An ecomap documents the fit of a family into their community by diagramming the family and community relationships. Because this family is new to the community, this would be the best thing for the nurse to do first. A mark of families who are new to a community is they have few community contacts because they have not formed these as yet. A family with few connecting lines between its members and the community may need increased nursing contact and support to remain a well family. A genogram is a diagram that details family structure and provides information about the family's health history and the roles of various family members across several generations. This might be appropriate for the nurse to complete at a later time. Assessing the home for safety and discussing the daughter's anorexia could also be done at a later time.

knees.

disease.
