,1. Which family theory explains how families react to stressful events and suggests
factors that promote adaptation to these events?
Answer: Family stress theory
Family stress theory explains the reaction of families to stressful events. In addition, the
theory helps suggest factors that promote adaptation to the stress. Stressors, both
positive and negative, are cumulative and affect the family. Adaptation requires a
change in family structure or interaction. Interactional theory is not a family theory.
Interactions are the basis of general systems theory. Eriksons theory applies to
individual growth and development, not families. Developmental systems theory is an
outgrowth of Duvalls theory. The family is described as a small group, a semiclosed
system of personalities that interact with the larger cultural system. Changes do not
occur in one part of the family without changes in others.
2. Which factors will decrease iron absorption and should not be given at the same
time as an iron supplement?
Answer: Milk
3. The nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a newborn who has
gastroesophageal reflux. Which of the following instructions should nurse include?
Answer: Place the newborn in a side-lying position if vomiting
4. Which phase of wound healing is active when endothelial cells sprout and form
new vascular loops to supply oxygen to the regenerating tissue matrix?
Answer: Proliferative phase
Angiogenesis-the formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing capillaries-is a key
component of the proliferative phase. It is mediated by growth factors like VEGF to
deliver oxygen and nutrients to the healing tissues.

, 5. Which is the most consistent and commonly used data for assessment of pain in
infants?
Answer: Behavioral
Behavioral assessment is useful for measuring pain in young children and preverbal
children who do not have the language skills to communicate that they are in pain.
Infants are not able to self-report. Physiologic measures are not able to distinguish
between physical responses to pain and other forms of stress. Parental report without a
structured tool may not accurately reflect the degree of discomfort.
6. When assessing a family, the nurse determines that the parents exert little or no
control over their children. This style of parenting is called which?
Answer: Permissive
7. A nurse is evaluating a client who is receiving a continuous enteral feeding and has
diarrhea. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to reduce the client's
diarrhea?
Answer: Decrease the rate of the feeding.
8. What is an appropriate play activity for a 7-month-old infant to encourage visual
stimulation?
Answer: Playing peek-a-boo
9. A patient with a compromised immune system displays a wound that has failed to
heal over a 60-day period. What type of cellular dysfunction is directly linked to
delayed healing in immunocompromised hosts?
Answer: Impaired macrophage phagocytosis and reduced growth factor secretion.
