Two nursing students, both single parents, have decided to move into a larger house. Part of their rationale includes providing support for studying and sharing responsibilities of parenting. This is an example of which of the following?
1. Cohabiting family
2. Blended family
3. Foster family
4. Intragenerational family
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Cohabiting (or communal) families consist of unrelated individuals or families that live under one roof. Reasons for cohabiting may be a need for companionship, a desire to achieve a sense of family, sharing expenses, and household management.
Rationale 2: A blended family occurs when existing family units join together to form new families, also known as stepfamilies or reconstituted families.
Rationale 3: Foster family situations occur when children can no longer live with their birth parents and require placement with a family that has agreed to include them temporarily.
Rationale 4: Intragenerational families occur when more than two generations live together.
