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.
1. Family nursing focuses on family response, not just intervention effectiveness.
2. Evaluates whether the family engaged with and benefited from care.
3. Shifts focus from nurse-centered to family-centered outcomes.
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.
1. Culture and socioeconomic status intersect to affect health outcomes.
2. Poverty is a primary driver of health disparities.
3. Family structure and function are shaped by economic resources.
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; Knowledge of the
client's family culture; Adaptation of services that support the client's culture; Responding to families with
empathy.
1. Cultural competence is a process, not an endpoint.
2. Requires self-reflection and knowledge of other cultures.
3. Adaptation of services respects family values and traditions.
