Answer to Question 1

3. Intragenerational family

Rationale:
In some cultures and as people live longer, more than two generations may live together in an intragenerational setting. A two-career family is one where both partners are employed. A blended family occurs when existing family units join together to form new families. A traditional family is viewed as an autonomous unit in which both parents reside in the home.

Answer to Question 2

1. Place the client on the left side and protect the airway

Rationale:
The client should be placed on the side to aid in circulation to the placenta. The airway needs to be maintained to ensure oxygenation throughout the seizure. The client should not be placed in the supine position. The head of the bed should not be elevated. The client's legs should not be elevated.
