When collecting family interactional data, the nurse knows to ask:
1. "How do the actions of your family worsen your symptoms of schizophrenia?"
2. "Since you have been in the hospital, who is taking care of your children?"
3. "How often do you shop for nutritional items for your family?"
4. "What do you buy when you shop at the local market?"
2
Rationale: Family interactional data is probably the most complex data to obtain. It is important to determine family alliances and family supports. Information about shopping habits is not part of the interactional data. Implying that the family causes or affects the client's mental illness reflects the nurse's bias.
