1. Traditional nuclear family.
2. Traditional extended family.
3. Two-income nuclear family.
4. Heterosexual cohabitating informal stepfamily.
4
Rationale:
1. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
2. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
3. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
4. The mother from the heterosexual cohabitating informal stepfamily does not have a husband; the nurse should be asking about the child's father. In the traditional nuclear family, the traditional extended family, and the two-income nuclear family, the child's father is the same person as the mother's husband.
