During a family assessment, it is identified that the mother is unemployed but stays at home to prepare meals, monitor medication doses, and comfort the children with emotional issues. The father works outside of the home and pays the bills
Which terms should the nurse use to document the role of the father in this family? (Select all that apply.) A) Provider
B) Nurturer
C) Culture bearer
D) Health manager
E) Financial manager
A, E
Feedback:
The provider is considered the person who brings home the money, which would be the father because he works outside of the home. The person who pays the bills is considered the financial manager. The nurturer would be the one who makes the meals or the mother in this situation. The health manager is also the mother because she is the person who monitors medication doses. There is no evidence to support that either the mother or father function in the role as culture bearer.
