Verified Marking Scheme 2024/2025
Maintenance of formal roles - correct answer The formal family roles surface in marital
relationships, in women's and men's roles in families, and in parent's roles. Family role
changes create stress at times of transition, because multiple members of a family are
affected by life cycle changes and assuming multiple roles in a family.
Family Values Conflict - correct answer According to Friedman et al. (2003), family
values have not changed. Norms and rules have changed and become more relaxed
creating an uncertainty in family roles. The new American family is more open and
flexible and this promotes individualism discussed earlier. It leaves families separated
and not child-centered.
Involving the family in nursing interventions - correct answer An evaluation is
completed on the responsiveness of the family to the interventions and not on the
interventions themselves.
Sociocultural Issues - correct answer - Barriers to healthcare services surface with
cultural diversity.
- the socioeconomic status of families determines lifestyle, structure, and function and
has the greatest influence on the family's ability to maintain physical and mental health.
- Poverty influences the health of families and creates health disparities. Negative
socioeconomic indicators pose a significant threat for maximizing health in lower class
families.
Cultural Competence - correct answer Culturally competent care is the goal for all
family nursing. The following interventions are vital to successful planning for these
families:
- Awareness and acceptance of cultural differences
- Self-awareness of one's own culture
- Understanding the dynamics of cultural differences
