During assessment of a child's biological family history, it is especially important that the nurse asking the mother for information uses the term "child's father" instead of "your husband" in the situation of a:
1. Traditional nuclear family.
2. Two-income nuclear family.
3. Traditional extended family.
4. Heterosexual cohabitating family.
4
Rationale 1: In the traditional nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
Rationale 2: The two-income nuclear family consists of children living with both biological parents where both parents are employed. The child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
Rationale 3: In the traditional extended family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband. In this family group, there will be other adult relatives living as a member of the family.
Rationale 4: The couple in a heterosexual cohabitating family is not married, so no husband exists; the nurse should be asking about the child's father.
