American families are having difficulty adequately performing their vital health care function. What are the basic reasons for this difficulty?

  1. structure of the health care system and family structure
  2. psychological factors for men and women seeking health care
  3. conditions being labeled disabilities and seen as too time consuming
  4. health care organizations (HMOs) and disconnected families

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Scholars suggest that the reasons families are having difficulty providing health care for their members lies with both the structure of the health care system and the family structure.
Major factors explaining differences in utilization patterns of medical services include the lack of healthcare insurance coverage, lack of services for special populations (that is, teenage males), perception by families of the health care system and the health care provider, and lack of partnership between health care providers and families in mutually addressing health care issues.

During a routine health screening, the nurse should talk to the parents of a 1-year-old child about which of the following?

  1. the potential hazards of accidents
  2. appropriate nutrition now that the child has been weaned from breast-feeding
  3. toilet training
  4. how to purchase appropriate shoes now that the child is walking

Answer(s): A

Accidents are the primary source of injury in children and can be life threatening.
Appropriate nutrition should have been discussed during the weaning process and while the purchase of appropriate shoes is important, it is not life threatening. One year of age is too early to discuss toilet training.
