During a home visit, the nurse determines that a family is functioning in a healthy manner. Which behavior did the nurse observe to make this determination?
A) A mother is angry that the father never helps with housework.
B) A brother is so jealous of his new sister that he hides her clothes.
C) A father wishes the family was able to spend more time together.
D) A mother states she has grown up since giving birth to her children.
D
Feedback:
A family that is supportive of all family members and provides an environment conducive to each member's continued growth and development is more likely to be able to manage home care. The mother's statement about growing up after giving birth demonstrates growth. The mother that is angry because of no help with housework is demonstrating unrealistic expectations of family members. A brother that hides clothes is not successfully dealing with the stresses within the family. The father wishing the family had more time together might be overwhelmed with the home situation.
