D. Manage only chronic illnesses within families.
Answer: B. View the family as a system and focus on family unit health.

foundation?
A. Nightingale’s Environmental Theory
B. Family Systems Theory
C. Roy’s Adaptation Model

how families respond to stressors and illness.

B. Providing health education to an individual and their spouse together.
C. Developing a care plan focused on improving the entire family’s functioning.

Rationale:
In the family as client approach, the family unit is the primary focus, not just individual
members.
