ANS: A
If only one family member receives nursing care, it is realistic and practical to view the family as context. Although family nursing is based on the assumption that all people regardless of age are a member of some type of family form, the patient insists that he has no family. The nurse should investigate further. However, at this time, family as patient, as system, or in a combination is not appropriate.
