Maternity Nursing Chapter 2 questionswith answers.
1. A married couple lives in a single-family house with their newborn son and the husbands daughter
from a previous marriage. On the basis of the information given, what family form best describes this
family?
a. Married-blended family
b. Extended family
c. Nuclear family
d. Same-sex family ANS - ANS: A
Married-blended families are formed as the result of divorce and remarriage. Unrelated family members
join together to create a new household. Members of an extended family are kin, or family members
related by blood, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles. A nuclear family is a traditional family with
male and female partners and the children resulting from that union. A same-sex family is a family with
homosexual partners who cohabit with or without children.
2. In what form do families tend to be most socially vulnerable?
a. Married-blended family c. Nuclear family
b. Extended family
c. Nuclear family
d. Single-parent family ANS - ANS: D
The single-parent family tends to be vulnerable economically and socially, creating an unstable and
deprived environment for the growth potential of children. The married-blended family, the extended
family, and the nuclear family are not the most socially vulnerable.
3. Health care functions carried out by families to meet their members needs include:
a. Developing family budgets.
b. Socializing children.
, c. Meeting nutritional requirements.
d. Teaching family members about birth control. ANS - ANS: C
Meeting nutritional requirements is a fundamental health promotion behavior. Although creating a
family budget may be helpful, it does not indicate that funds will be allotted to meet health needs if
money is scarce. Often families cannot afford preventive care and rely on emergency departments for
their health care needs. Socialization of children may be important, but it is not directly related to the
health care of individuals in a family unit. Birth control may be important, but it is not a basic survival
health care function.
4. The nurse should be aware that the criteria used to make decisions and solve problems within
families are based primarily on family:
a. Rituals and customs.
b. Values and beliefs.
c. Boundaries and channels.
d. Socialization processes. ANS - ANS: B
Values and beliefs are the most prevalent factors in the decision-making and problem-solving
techniques of families. Although culture may play a part in the decision-making process of a family,
ultimately values and beliefs dictate the course of action taken by family members. Boundaries and
channels affect the relationship between the family members and the health care team, not the
decisions within the family. Socialization processes may help families with interactions with the
community, but they are not the criteria used for decision making within the family.
5. Using the family stress theory as an intervention approach for working with families experiencing
parenting, the nurse can help the family change internal context factors. These include:
a. Biologic and genetic makeup.
b. Maturation of family members.
c. The familys perception of the event.
d. The prevailing cultural beliefs of society. ANS - ANS: C
The family stress theory is concerned with the familys reaction to stressful events; internal context
factors include elements that a family can control such as psychologic defenses. It is not concerned with
biologic and genetic makeup, maturation of family members, or the prevailing cultural beliefs of society.
