The graduate nurse tells her preceptor that the newly admitted patient has a strange living arrangement, because she lives in a household that consists of two aunts, a grandparent, a niece, a nephew, and her best friend
What is the preceptor's best response?
a. "You are correct. That is a different type of household."
b. "That is an example of a family as defined by a different type of culture."
c. "This is considered an extended family and is not unusual."
d. "This is a type of blended family and statistics show an increase in these types of living arrangements."
C
The description fits the definition for an extended family, which can consist of various biological relatives and also nonrelatives who live together or in close proximity. A blended family consists of two single parents who marry and raise their children together. Although extended family arrangements may occur in some cultures, this is not the best response to the nurse's interpretation of the family living arrangement.
