Health care functions carried out by families to meet their members' needs include:
a. Developing family budgets.
b. Socializing children.
c. Meeting nutritional requirements.
d. Teaching family members about birth control.
ANS: C
Meeting nutritional requirements is a fundamental health promotion behavior. Although creating a family budget may be helpful, it does not indicate that funds will be allotted to meet health needs if money is scarce. Often families cannot afford preventive care and rely on emergency departments for their health care needs. Socialization of children may be important, but it is not directly related to the health care of individuals in a family unit. Birth control may be important, but it is not a basic survival health care function.
