Answer to Question 1

A
When you view the family as context, your primary focus is on the health and development of an individual member existing within a specific environment (i.e., the patient's family). When you view the family as patient, the family processes and relationships (e.g., parenting or family care-giving) are your primary focus of care. Focus your nursing assessment on the family patterns versus individual member characteristics. When you care for the family as a system, you are caring for each family member (family as context) and the family unit (family as patient), using all community, social, and psychosocial resources.

Answer to Question 2

C
A nurse's responsibility is to follow policies and procedures and to know the most current prac-tice standards. As a nurse progresses in a career, it becomes his or her responsibility to obtain necessary continued education and earn certifications when he or she chooses to practice in spe-cialty areas. Nurses must be accountable for their own actions; it is not the responsibility of the hospital, charge nurse, or oncologist for the nurse to be competent.
