The mother of an 8-year-old girl with a broken arm is the nurturer in the family. The mother would be the focus of which activity?
A) Teaching proper care procedures
B) Dealing with insurance coverage
C) Determining success of treatment
D) Transmitting information to family members
A
Response:
The mother is the nurturer and thus the primary caregiver, so she would be the best family member to learn proper care procedures. Dealing with insurance coverage is the responsibility of the family's financial manager, transmitting information to family members is the gatekeeper's duty, and determining the success of treatment would likely fall to the family decision maker.
