In order to obtain detailed information that gives insight into how a client's family may function, the nurse knows to ask:
1. "What are your goals after discharge?"
2. "How often do you attend church?"
3. "What are your favorite foods?"
4. "Do you take your medicine at the same time every day?"
2
Rationale: How actively the family pursues religious/spiritual activities is the sort of detailed information that will give insight into family functioning. Goals after discharge, favorite foods, and medication information are not related to family functioning.
