Answer to Question 1

A
To assess the family structure, the nurse asks questions that determine the power structure and patterning of roles and tasks (e.g., Who decides where to go on vacation?). When focusing on family form, the nurse should begin the family assessment by determining the patient's definition of family. Family function is the ability of the family to provide emotional support and to cope with health problems or situations. The question asked above will not assess that. It is imperative to remember that categorical generalizations are misleading and should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Clustering data means that the nurse organizes the information obtained into meaningful clusters. A cluster is a set of signs or symptoms grouped together in a logical order. When clustering data, the nurse identifies relations between factors and symptoms.
B Validating data means that the nurse compares the data obtained with another source to ensure its accuracy.
C After validating data and clustering data, the nurse may formulate a problem statement, usually in the form of a nursing diagnosis.
D Peer review is the evaluation of the quality of the work effort of an individual by his or her peers.
