A student, aged 15 years, is a school truant. His family, a second-generation Asian American family,
comes to see the school nurse,
who discovers that the student's parents have been having marital
conflict for approximately 6 months since the paternal grandmother moved into their home. The
student's parents say their son is behaving disrespectfully. The nurse determines several factors of
concern in assessing the family, including (more than one option may be correct)
A. stage of family life cycle.
B. multigenerational issues.
C. sociocultural context.
D. sexual dysfunction.
A, B, C
Rationale: Options A, B, and C are relevant. Sexual dysfunction is not a factor in this scenario;
therefore this topic need not receive emphasis in the family assessment.
