A change in one family member affects all family members -systems theory - CORRECT
ANSWER: This concept aids the recognition that any significant even tor change in one family
,member affects all family members to varying degrees as was illustrated in the analogy of the
mobile. It can be most useful to nurses considering the impact of illness on families.
A complementary relationship - CORRECT ANSWER: consists of one individual giving and the
other receiving, the two people are of unequal status in the sense that one appears to be in the
superior position, meaning one initiates action and the other appears to follow the action.
A family is part of a larger suprasystem and is composed of many subsystems -systems theory -
CORRECT ANSWER: A family is composed of many subsystems, such as parent-child, martial,
and sibling subsystems. These subsystems are also composed of various subsystems, some of
which are physical (i.e cardiovascular), or psychological (e.g cognitive, affective and behavioural
systems). At the same time, the family is just one unit nested in larger suprasystems, such as
neighborhoods, organizations, or church communities.
Affective Functions of the Family - CORRECT ANSWER: How to react appropriately
emotionally.
Fulfilling this function and positive emotional relationship among family members are essential
for creating a harmonic and stable environment that is optimal for healthy child development and
the satisfaction of all family members. Well functioning family members are able to maintain a
consistent level of involvement with one another, yet at the same time not become too involved
in each other's lives, they also care deeply about each other's feelings and activities, and are
emotionally invested in one another.
Alcohol - CORRECT ANSWER: Use of alcohol is a risk and determinant for a wide range of
poor physical and mental health outcomes. Alcohol use is legal for adults, although impaired
driving (DUI) and, to a lesser extent, public drunkenness are banned.
o Binge drinking is more common among men (32%) compared to women 16%). Alcohol and
substance use have serious consequences for individual health. Individuals who engage in
excessive drinking are more likely to suffer from HTN and to develop chronic disease such as
liver cirrhosis, pancreatitis, and different types of cancers.
Excessive drinking also has psychological effects, and can cause unintentional injuries produced
by car accidents, drowning, falls, and other types of incidents.
, All communication has two levels: Content and Relationship -Communication Theory -
CORRECT ANSWER: Communication consists of what is being said (content) and information
that defined the nature of the relationship between those interaction. Family communication not
only reveals a message about who is saying and what and when, it also conveys a message about
the structure and functions of family relationship in relation to the power base, decision making
processes affection trust and coalitions.
All nonverbal communication is meaningful - CORRECT ANSWER: This concept helps us
realize that there is no such thing as not communicating because all nonverbal communication by
a person carries a message in the presence of another. Behaviour is relevant and meaningful only
when the immediate context is considered.
All parts of the systems are interconnected - CORRECT ANSWER: What influences one part of
the system influences all parts of the system. When an individual in a family experiences a health
event, all members are affected because they are connected. The effect on each family member
varies in intensity and quality.
All systems have some form of boundaries or borders between the system and its environment -
CORRECT ANSWER: Families control the inflow of information and people coming into its
family system to protect individual family members of the family as a whole. Boundaries are
physical or abstract imaginary lines that families use as barriers or filters to control the impact of
stressors on the family system. Family boundaries include levels of permeability in that they can
be closed, flexible, or too open to information, people or other forms of resources.
Analogical Communication - CORRECT ANSWER: Consists of not only of the useful types of
NVC, such as body posture, facial expression, and tone, but also music, poetry, and painting.
When discrepancies exist between analogical and digital communication, then the analogical
message is considered more pertient to the nurses' observing eye.
Application of Theoretical Models of Health Disparities - CORRECT ANSWER: Both Jones'
Three Level of Racism Model and Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Model consider the
individual, families, communities and the broad economic, social, cultural, and physical
environment and how each system improves both our understanding of and treatment of disease
and promotion of health. - The three levels of racism offered by Jones impact each of the three
levels of systems described by Bronfenbrenner.
