Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Family systems theory considers family boundaries (how the family interacts with the outside world) and looks at interaction among all the members, as the family unit itself is considered more important than the individuals within it. Boundaries can also be assessed in part by determining if there are family secrets or taboos (closed boundaries) or if information is shared too freely (open boundaries). Developmental stages of the family are not considered in family systems theory, but are part of Duvall's family developmental stages and theory.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
The patient's family should be welcomed into nursing experiences. The family is a rich source of support and information about the patient. The patient will have to reintegrate into the family upon discharge. The patient's family represents the context from which he or she comes. Families may or may not have to assume the caregiving role. It is stereotypical to assume that families will interfere in patient care.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
