1.	Cultural tradition
2.	Subculture with shared traits in a different society
3.	Cultural universals
4.	Socioeconomics

2	Understanding that complexity is part of human interactions minimizes the likelihood of ethnocentric thinking.
3	In ethnocentric thinking, people only consider one way of looking at a problem.
4	In ethnocentric thinking, people often generalize their own experience to others and assume that all families are the same.

2.	More people will find themselves as the “sandwich generation,” caring for parents and children at the same time.
3.	Most elderly people are sick, frail, and dependent on others.
4.	All of the above.

ANS: 2

	Feedback
1	There is not a surplus of available nursing homes. Many homes have waiting lists for admission. The lack of available spaces will impact nursing care related to aging populations.
2	Nursing care for aging populations will be affected by the growing “sandwich generation” of people caring for parents and children at the same time.
3	While elderly people may be sick, frail, and dependent on others, this is not a characteristic of most elderly people.
4	There is not a surplus of available nursing homes and many elderly people live independently and are not sick, frail, and dependent on others. It is true that nursing care for aging populations will be affected by the growing “sandwich generation” of people caring for parents and children at the same time.

1. Which of the following theoretical models would best help explain why a family might bring in their own “hot” and “cold” foods for healing after a birth?

1.	The Family Health Model
2.	The Sunrise Model
3.	The Health Promotion Model
4.	The Health Beliefs Model

ANS: 2

	Feedback

3	The Health Promotion Model focuses on how individuals can achieve changes that promote health; the focus is less on culturally based nutritional habits
4	The Health Beliefs Model focuses on beliefs that people have regarding their health and how they can make changes. This model is useful for patient with illnesses that require lifestyle changes (e.g., diabetes).

2	A nursing model does not necessarily contribute to other disciplines.
3	Use of a family nursing model is not enough to guarantee that nursing is considered a profession; there are several additional criteria.

3.	Are informed by a family nursing theory.
4.	Are interdisciplinary in nature.

ANS: 2

	Feedback

4.	Helpful, because the nurse can see the uniqueness of the individual through this lens.

ANS: 2

	Feedback
1	Integration of frameworks assists the nurse in creating evidence-based approaches.
2	Integrating conceptual and theoretical frameworks gives the nurse broader choices from which to create evidence-based approaches.
3	One middle-range theory may not be appropriate for specific families.
4	Seeing the uniqueness of the individual is not necessarily supported by use of any one conceptual or theoretical framework; the process of assessment is still needed.
