Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
The five realms of family life that should be assessed include: developmental, interactive, integrity, coping, and health, not life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
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 available environmental, social, psychological, and community resources. In family as context, the primary focus is on the health of an individual member. In family as patient, family processes and relationships are the primary focus. Family as caregiver is not an approach to family-focused nursing but is a term used to describe a family member caring for another family member.
