2) A new pediatric hospital will open soon. While planning nursing care, the hospital
administration is considering two models of providing healthcare: family-focused care and
family-centered care. Which action best demonstrates family-centered care?
1. Telling the family what must be done for the family’s health
2. Assuming the role of an expert professional to direct the healthcare
3. Intervening for the child and family as a unit
4. Conferring with the family in deciding which healthcare option will be chosen
Answer: 4
Explanation: 1. The benefit of employing the family-centered-care philosophy is that the
priorities and needs as seen by the family are addressed as a partnership between a family and a
nurse develops. In family-focused care, the healthcare worker assumes the role of professional
expert while missing the multiple contributions the family brings to the healthcare meeting.

3) A school-age client tells you that “Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy, and my brother live at my
house.” Which type of family will the nurse identify in the medical record based on this
description?
1. Binuclear family
2. Extended family
3. Gay or lesbian family
4. Traditional nuclear family
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. An extended family contains a parent or a couple who share the house with their
children and another adult relative. A binuclear family includes the divorced parents who have
joint custody of their biologic children, while the children alternate spending varying amounts of
time in the home of each parent. A gay or lesbian family is comprised of two same-sex domestic
partners; they may or may not have children. The traditional nuclear family consists of an
employed provider parent, a homemaking parent, and the biologic children of this union.

4) The nurse is performing an assessment of a child’s biologic family history. Which situation
would necessitate the nurse’s asking the mother for information should use the term “child’s
father” instead of “your husband”?
1. Traditional nuclear family
2. Traditional extended family
3. Two-income nuclear family
4. Cohabitating informal stepfamily
Answer: 4
Explanation: 1. The mother from the cohabitating informal stepfamily does not have a husband;
the nurse should be asking about the “child’s father.” In the traditional nuclear family, the
traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child’s father is the same
person as the mother’s husband.
2. The mother from the cohabitating informal stepfamily does not have a husband; the nurse
should be asking about the “child’s father.” In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional
extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child’s father is the same person as the
mother’s husband.

5) Several children arrived at the emergency department accompanied by their fathers. Which
father may legally sign emergency medical consent for treatment?
1. The divorced one from the binuclear family
2. The stepfather from the blended or reconstituted family
3. The divorced one when the single-parent mother has custody
4. The nonbiologic one from the heterosexual cohabitating family
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The divorced father from the binuclear family may sign informed consent
because he has equal legal rights with the mother under joint-custody arrangements. The
nonbiologic stepfather from the blended or reconstituted family, the divorced biologic father
when the single-parent mother has custody, and the nonbiologic father from the heterosexual
cohabitating family are without legal authority to seek emergency medical care for the child.
2. The divorced father from the binuclear family may sign informed consent because he has
equal legal rights with the mother under joint-custody arrangements. The nonbiologic stepfather
from the blended or reconstituted family, the divorced biologic father when the single-parent

6) The community health nurse is assessing several families for various strengths and needs in
regard to after-school and backup childcare arrangements. Which family type will benefit the
most from this assessment and subsequent interventions?
1. The binuclear family
2. The extended family
3. The single-parent family
4. The traditional nuclear family
Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. The single-parent family most typically lacks social, emotional, and financial
resources. Nursing considerations for such families should include referrals to options that will
enable the parent to fulfill work commitments while providing the child with access to resources
that can support the child’s growth and development. The binuclear family, the extended family,
and the traditional nuclear family generally have at least two adults who can share in the care and
the nurturing of its children.

7) The nurse is working on parenting skills with a group of mothers. Which mother would need
the fewest discipline-related suggestions?
1. Authoritarian
2. Authoritative
3. Indifferent
4. Permissive
Answer: 2
Explanation: 1. The parental style that results in positive outcomes for the behavior and learning
of its children is the authoritative style. Nurses have observed that children from homes using
this parental style more frequently have personalities manifesting self-reliance, self-control, and
social competence. These parents should be praised for using the preferred approach. Children in
the authoritarian parenting family are denied opportunity to develop some skills in the areas of
self-direction, communication, and negotiation. Under the permissive parental style, children do
not learn the socially acceptable limits of behaviors. The indifferent parental style results in
children who often exhibit destructive behaviors and delinquency.

8) The nurse in the pediatric clinic observes a parental lack of warmth and interest toward the
child. Which parental style will the nurse most likely document in this situation?
1. Authoritarian
2. Authoritative
3. Indifferent
4. Permissive
Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. Parents displaying the indifferent parental style fail to demonstrate consistent
warmth and interest in their children. Parents who favor the authoritarian style may exhibit a
punitive attitude toward the child who is misbehaving but are not disinterested. Parents
employing the authoritative style and the permissive style have children who report that “my
parent loves me and shows affection regularly.”
2. Parents displaying the indifferent parental style fail to demonstrate consistent warmth and

9) The nurse is working on parenting skills with a mother of three children. The nurse
demonstrates a strategy that uses reward to increase positive behavior. Which strategy will the
nurse document in the medical record based on this description?
1. Time out
2. Reasoning
3. Behavior modification
4. Experiencing consequences of misbehavior
Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. Behavior modification identifies and gives rewards for desired behaviors. Time
out and experiencing consequences of misbehavior show the child that unacceptable behavior
brings undesirable outcomes. Reasoning attempts to use explanation to end misbehavior.
2. Behavior modification identifies and gives rewards for desired behaviors. Time out and

10) The nurse is assessing a family’s effective coping strategies and ineffective defensive
strategies. Which family-social-system theory is the nurse using in this assessment of the family?
1. Family-stress theory
2. Family-development theory
3. Family-systems theory
4. Family life-cycle theory
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Family-stress theory indicates an array of coping strategies that effectively help
reduce stress, in contrast with the defensive strategies of dysfunctional families. Familydevelopment theory suggests developmental tasks for families in each stage. Family-systems
theory looks at the relationships among and between family members and the environment. The
family life cycle is not a family social system theory.

11) The nurse is assigned to a child in a spica cast for a fractured femur suffered in an
automobile accident. The child’s teenage brother was driving the car, which was totaled. The
nurse learns that the father lost his job three weeks ago and the mother has just accepted a
temporary waitress job. Which nursing diagnosis will the nurse use when planning care for this
child and family?
1. Compromised Family Coping Related to the Effects of Multiple Simultaneous Stressors
2. Impaired Social Interaction (Parent and Child) Related to the Lack of Family or Respite
Support
3. Interrupted Family Processes Related to Child with Significant Disability Requiring Alteration
in Family Functioning
4. Risk for Caregiver Role Strain Related to Child with a Newly Acquired Disability and the
Associated Financial Burden
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Compromised Family Coping Related to the Effects of Multiple Simultaneous
Stressors best fits the multiple crises to which this family is responding. The spica cast may
require alteration in family functioning; however, fractures are generally not considered a
significant long-term disability. Lack of family members and lack of respite support was not
mentioned in the scenario.
2. Compromised Family Coping Related to the Effects of Multiple Simultaneous Stressors best

12) A nurse is working with a pediatric client. When obtaining an accurate family assessment,
which initial step is the most appropriate?
1. Establish a trusting relationship with the family.
2. Select the most relevant family-assessment tool.
3. Focus primarily upon the mother, while learning her greatest concern.
4. Observe the family in the home setting, since this step always proves indispensable.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. Establishment of a trusting relationship between the family and the nurse is the
essential preliminary step in obtaining an accurate family assessment. There is benefit when the
tool used matches the family’s strengths and resources; however, selecting the most relevant
family-assessment tool is not indispensable to accuracy in the assessment. Focusing primarily
upon the mother while learning her greatest concern is counterproductive and prevents the nurse
from acknowledging multiple perceptions held by the family’s members. Observing the family in
the home setting is only recommended in some cases.

13) The nurse is assessing a group of children attending summer camp. The nurse will expect
which children to most likely have problems perceiving a sense of belonging?
1. Children whose parents divorced recently
2. Children who gained a stepparent recently
3. Children recently placed into foster care
4. Children adopted as infants
Answer: 3
Explanation: 1. Children in foster care are more likely to have problems perceiving a sense of
belonging. Children whose parents divorce often fear abandonment. Children who gain a
stepparent may have problems trusting the new parent. Infants who are adopted at birth can have
minimal problems with acceptance when parents follow preadoption counseling about
disclosure.
2. Children in foster care are more likely to have problems perceiving a sense of belonging.
Children whose parents divorce often fear abandonment. Children who gain a stepparent may
