A couple with young children asks the nurse about the factors that contribute to a strong family unit. What instruction is of highest priority for the nurse to provide to the parents?
A) Grandparents and other relatives frequently play pivotal roles in families.
B) Participation from both parents in childrearing is important.
C) Participation in household tasks is the main responsibility of the mother in families.
D) Authority, provider, and protector of the family reside with the father.
B
Feedback:
Participation from both parents in household tasks and childrearing often contributes to a strong family unit. Historically, the roles of authority, provider, and protector of the family have been associated with the male. Yet, many men in today's society are challenged to maintain these perceptions. More women are successfully entering the workforce and becoming provider, caregiver, and protector. As a result, the two-income family has had to adjust and redistribute family roles. For many couples, division of labor includes sharing childcare responsibilities, enabling both mothers and fathers to develop close relationships with their children.
