A school-age client tells you that "Grandpa, Mommy, Daddy, and my brother live at my house." Which type of family will the nurse identify in the medical record based on this description?
1. Binuclear family
2. Extended family
3. Gay or lesbian family
4. Traditional nuclear family
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: An extended family contains a parent or a couple who share the house with their children and another adult relative. A binuclear family includes the divorced parents who have joint custody of their biologic children, while the children alternate spending varying amounts of time in the home of each parent. A gay or lesbian family is comprised of two same-sex domestic partners; they may or may not have children. The traditional nuclear family consists of an employed provider parent, a homemaking parent, and the biologic children of this union.
