Which observation indicates to the nurse that a family is not functioning in a healthy way?
A) The family pays cash for health care.
B) The father comforts his crying daughter.
C) The mother states, "This family couldn't function without me.".
D) The father does not share his concerns so his wife will not worry about them.
D
Feedback:
Health family functioning includes communication with each other and identifying and sharing feelings about the home situation. The family paying cash for health care does not support a family that is not functioning in a healthy way. The father comforting his crying daughter demonstrates healthy family functioning. The mother who believes the family could not function without could be a statement of frustration or evidence that the family needs her to maintain healthy functioning.
