Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3

Feedback
1 Asking what has been helpful is therapeutic because it allows the family to reflect on their experiences.
2 Asking the family what question they would like answered is therapeutic because it helps the nurse focus his assessment and identify family needs.
3 Asking why is not therapeutic because it is likely to cause defensiveness and block communication.
4 Asking with whom the family would like information shared is therapeutic because it helps with assessment of family resources and demonstrates respect for family wishes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Rationale:
The five realms of family life in the Family Health System Model are interactional, developmental, coping, integrity, and health.
