Answer to Question 1

C
Areas included in family assessment are the form, structure, and function of the family; its deve-lopmental stage; and its progress toward or accomplishment of developmental tasks. It is essen-tial to assess the patient and family thoroughly. The family as a whole differs from individual members. The measure of family health is more than a summation of the health of all members. Begin assessment by considering the views of the patient toward the family.

Answer to Question 2

A
Validation of assessment data is the comparison of data with another source to confirm accuracy. The nurse reviews data to validate that measurable, objective physical findings support subjective data. A data cluster is a set of signs or symptoms that are grouped in a logical order. When a nurse reviews a patient's subjective data, the nurse is examining the patient's own interpretation of his or her condition. Documenting information includes the written details of the assessment.
