A nurse is assessing the family unit to determine the family's ability to adapt to the change of a member having surgery. Which area is the nurse monitoring?

Family resiliency is the ability of the family to cope with expected and unexpected stressors; it's the families' ability to adapt to changes. Family diversity is the uniqueness of each family unit. Every person within a family unit has specific needs, strengths, and important developmental considerations. Family durability is a system of support and structure within a family that extends beyond the walls of the household. Family forms are patterns of people considered by family members to be included in the family.
