A nurse who is sensitive to the care of families recognizes that the term ‘family’ is primarily de-fined:

1. As individuals legally bound to the client
2. As people with biological connections to the client
3. In terms generally accepted by the majority of clients
4. By the client as individuals important to the client

ANS: 4
A nurse can think of the family as a set of relationships that the client identifies as family or as a network of individuals who influence each other’s lives. People related legally and biologically may be criterion used to determine family. General terms may not be correct in today’s diversi-fied world.
