Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. A developmental crisis is viewed as a normal transition point where old patterns of communication and old roles must be exchanged for new patterns and roles. Every family experiences developmental crisis points, whether or not a crisis is actually experienced. Examples of transition periods when developmental crises may occur include marriage. Examples of situational crises (when the family experiences an event that is sudden, unexpected, and unpredictable) are illness, accidents, death, and natural disasters.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Safety education is an approach to injury prevention with families. Population health nurses can educate family members regarding the need for adequate nutrition, rest, and physical activity to promote health. Illness prevention may include teaching effective hygiene, referral for immunization, or advocating for access to safe water and food supplies as well as other interventions. Problem-resolution activities with families may be aimed at assisting families to obtain needed care for existing health problems or helping families to deal with these problems.
