Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse-family relationship in client care depends on a reciprocal relationship between the nurses and family in which both are equal partners and sources of information. The initial encounter sets the tone for the relationship. How nurses interact with each family member may be as important as what they choose to say. The nurse should begin with formal introductions and explain the purpose of gathering assessment data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Meaningful involvement in the client's care not only differs from family to family, it also differs among individual family members. Individual family members have different perspectives. Hearing each family member's perspective helps the family and nurse develop a unified understanding of significant treatment goals and implications for family involvement. Although treatment plans should be tailored around personal client goals, acknowledging family needs, values, and priorities enhances compliance, especially if they are different.
