Exercise 3
What should a nurse instruct a client who identifies "the family" as two college roommates, a dog, and a cat when completing a family health history form?
1) Include all information about blood relatives and the animals and roommates that might influence his health.
2) Include only information about genetic/hereditary and environmental illnesses of blood relatives.
3) Leave the area blank since the client does not live with blood relatives.
4) Use the client's own judgment in completing the area since the physical exam is more important than the history.
