The idea of ​​a traditional family may be becoming a thing of the past, with married couples and their children making up the minority of households (DiFonzo & Stern, 2013 ). The Goldsmith family can be considered to have a binuclear, same-sex family structure. These are two families who share the responsibility of raising a young teenage daughter. Trying to coordinate parenting duties can sometimes be difficult because communication must be essential between these two households. Additionally, Chloe has to go back and forth between two homes that are fortunately in the same neighborhood and school district. This sometimes interferes with what she wants to plan. Chloe now seems to be adapting well to the circumstances, but as she gets older, new obstacles may arise. For now, she seems content with her current situation. His parents made sure that their divorce did not disrupt his lifestyle too much. Chloe has the same rigid rules in both homes. Family ensures that holidays and special occasions are shared together. The concept of family seems to be the most important to everyone. As in any family, certain problems and forms of stress arise constantly within a family. Every family is unique in its ability to adapt and overcome challenges. The ongoing interactions of family members influence its ability to function and its overall structure (Kaakinen, Gedaly-Duff, Padgett-Coehlo, & Harmon-Hanson, 2010). A family nurse has the power to promote well-being by ensuring that emotional family functions are fulfilled among Goldsmith family members and that family communication is strong for effective decision-making. Affective function corresponds to the relationships shared between family members...... middle of paper ...... and cohabiting couple. Hal is the breadwinner of the Goldsmith family and it would be devastating if he was unable to financially support himself if he were fired due to his sexual orientation. Not only could the lack of a discrimination policy create financial hardship, but it could also deprive the family of access to necessary health care. In conclusion, the goal as a family nurse is to explore methods to maintain and restore some stability so that the family can function at the highest level (Kaakinen, Gedaly-Duff, Padgett-Coehlo, and Harmon- Hanson, 2010). The Goldsmith family can rely primarily on each other for support. A relevant family goal would be for them to use certain community resources to promote positive health practices. This can contribute to effective management strategies, reduce stress and encourage proactive health behaviors..
