Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The primary purpose of the family assessment is to guide the personalized plan of care for the family. While the assessment may reveal the family dysfunction, aid in the therapeutic nurse-family relationship, and help determine the diagnosis of the family, these are not the primary purpose of the family assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: The psychological aspect of the family assessment assesses the family's conflict management skills. Social functioning, communication skills, and family and community interface are all aspects of the family assessment; however, these assess other areas of family functioning.
