from the environment it interacts with and views the family in context of
suprasystems and subsystems?
A. Structural-Functional Theory
B. Systems Theory
C. Family Developmental Theory
D. Family Interactional Theory
Answer: B
Rationale: Systems Theory defines the family as an open social system with
distinct parts and boundaries that interact with the environment. It views the family
in context of suprasystems and subsystems and is considered a grand theory in
family nursing .
Question 4

years and provides the ability to make predictions of family needs according to the
life cycle?
A. Structural-Functional Theory
B. Systems Theory
,C. Family Developmental Theory
D. Family Interactional Theory
Answer: C
Rationale: Family Developmental Theory explains the developmental changes of
family members through the years and provides the ability to make predictions of
family needs according to the life cycle. It emphasizes the traditional nuclear
family and outlines predictable stages and tasks .
Question 5
Which theory identifies how the family interacts with other institutions of society
and how family members interact with each other in family relationships?
A. Structural-Functional Theory
B. Systems Theory
C. Family Developmental Theory
D. Family Interactional Theory

Which nursing model is correctly matched to its family concept: The client is an
open system and the family is comprised of subsystems with relationships?
A. Neumann's Health System Model
B. Orem's Self-Care Model
C. King's Theory of Goal Attainment
D. Roy's Adaptation Model
Answer: A
Rationale: Neumann's Health System Model views the client as an open system,
with the family comprised of subsystems with relationships. The ability to
maintain wellness when exposed to stressors occurs through a series of exchanges
in the open system of the model, making it appropriate for community-based health
care .

Answer: B
Rationale: Orem's Self-Care Model requires the family unit to sustain self-care,
with nursing working with individuals to achieve self-care in the family unit. The
family unit is not the direct receiver of health care services, and self-care of the
family can incorporate health beliefs of the family .
