Bobette, wife of Lawrence (Henrietta’s child), approached Deborah about the abuse. Despite this, Deborah was reluctant because, “Deborah never told anyone - she was afraid she’d get in trouble” (Skloot, 2010, p. 114). Skloot was able to provide perspective for the kids; she showed how the absence of a parent affects a family more than one assumes. Their experience isn’t synonymous with every experience with loss of a parent - nevertheless, it shouldn’t be ignored. A loss of a parent affects a child in more ways than one and provides entry of

Chelsea admits that she still feels as if she is a child in his presence. The father belittles and patronizes her at every opportunity. Through the lens of the family systems theoretical orientation, the focus is on patterns that develop in families to defuse the tension and anxiety. According to Brown (1999), a key generator of stress in families is the perception of either too much closeness or too much distance in a relationship. The degree of anxiety in this family can be determined by the current levels of external stress and the sensitivities to particular themes that are transmitted through the generations.

Family theories have been used throughout the history of nursing to help guide patient care and provide the best patient outcomes. Certain theories may be more applicable to the specific patient encounter; however, each theory has benefits and drawbacks to their use. The purpose of this paper is to examine two selected theories, comparing their strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss a theoretical family in relation to one theory, and how that theory can be best integrated into the care provided by an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN). Description of Theories
Since 2014, the racial diversity in United States public schools has been at an all time high, with students of color outnumbering their white peers. Although minority populations enrolled in public schools has increased, resulting in the acceleration of graduation rates for historically disadvantaged groups like African-Americans and Latinos, school systems continue to fail to foster the academic success of Native Americans and properly encourage them to obtain their high school diplomas. The graduation rates of Native Americans exemplify this inadequacy of the school system, as graduation rates have been on a downward trend since 2008, according the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center (Maxwell).

I) Introduction – The Foster Care system and Homosexual’s being able to adopt both show through research to provide many benefits to a child in need.

Marriage is an important institution in a society and although there have been changes in the trend of marriage pattern, it is still very clear that marriage still matters. Marriage exists and its main aim is to bring two people together to form a union, where a man and a woman leave their families and join together to become one where they often start their own family. Sociologists are mostly interested in the relationship between marriage and family as they form the key structures in a society. The key interest on the correlation between marriage and family is because marriages are historically regarded as the institutions that create a family while families are on the other hand the very basic unit upon which our societies are founded on.
