Final answer:
The Family systems model (Anderson) uses genograms and ecomaps to evaluate family health needs and understand relational dynamics. The correct answer is option A).
Step-by-step explanation:
The nursing model that employs genograms and ecomaps to assess family health needs and identify relationships is Family systems (Anderson). Genograms are visual tools that map out family relationships and health histories over multiple generations, allowing for the identification of patterns that might be influential to health and behavior.
Ecomaps, on the other hand, are graphic representations that outline a family's social and community interactions, which can impact their health and well-being. Modern sociology prefers the use of more fluid models such as the 'family life course' over the traditional and more rigid 'family life cycle' stages.
These newer models account for the increasing diversity and changes in family structures and practices, recognizing that family events do not always occur in a predetermined order. This approach correlates with the use of genograms and ecomaps in the Family systems model which also acknowledges the complexity and the dynamic nature of family relationships.
