A nurse on a pediatric unit is caring for a child and his family. His parents define family as a husband, wife, and child. This definition is which type of family form?
Nuclear family
Intergenerational family
Blended family
Extended family
The Correct Answer is A
Rationale:
A. Nuclear family refers to a family unit consisting of two parents and their children. This definition matches the description provided by the parents.
B. Intergenerational family includes multiple generations living together or having frequent contact, which is not the case here.
C. Blended family involves parents who have remarried and may include children from previous relationships, which does not apply here.
D. Extended family includes additional relatives beyond the nuclear family, such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles, which is not the case in this scenario.

Correct Answer is C
Explanation
Rationale:
A. "I had strep throat about one year ago" is not directly related to contraindications for glyburide.
B. "I got my flu shot at the pharmacy two weeks ago" does not affect the use of glyburide.
C. "I plan to continue nursing my baby until he is at least a year old" indicates a contraindication because glyburide is not recommended for use during breastfeeding due to potential effects on the infant.
D. "I am allergic to shellfish" is not relevant to the contraindications for glyburide.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Rationale:
A. A client who reports pain as 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 at 0800 now reports pain as 6 needs pain management, but this is less urgent compared to potential signs of hypotension.
B. A client whose wound drainage at 0800 was sanguineous and now it is serosanguineous indicates normal progression of wound healing; thus, it is less critical.
C. A client who has a prescription for insulin and his premeal capillary blood glucose was 110 mg/dL and his post-meal capillary blood glucose is now 160 mg/dL needs blood glucose management, but this is less urgent than assessing for potential hypovolemia or shock.
D. A client whose blood pressure at 0800 was 138/86 mm Hg and at 1200 is 106/60 mm Hg is experiencing a significant drop in blood pressure, which could indicate hypovolemia or shock. This requires immediate assessment and intervention to prevent complications.
