Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
Social and technological advances of the past half century have changed family structure, function, and definition. With the increasing acceptance and technological methods of birth control options made available to families since the 1970s, family size has also changed. The feminist movement of the 1970s sent large numbers of mothers outside the home and into the work environment. With increased population mobility and two-income families there are fewer support persons available than before, when living near a large extended family was the norm. Mass media is an important determinant of social behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Advances in medical care, increased technology, and the potential for legal ramifications should nurses not use EBP and best-practice guidelines all increase the complexity and challenges in providing nursing care. Neither cultural diversity nor patient expectations are decreasing.
