Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assimilation is the process whereby a family or individual loses its unique cultural identity and identifies more with the dominant culture. The teens appear to be assimilated. Acculturation is the changes in cultural patterns within a group to match those of the host society. Connectedness relates to with whom the family identifies and relates as a family unit. Lost children are often seen in substance-abusing families.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A good goal or outcome is specific, measurable, and has a time element. The goal that best meets that description is expressing feelings using I statements within 1 month. Adapting to role changes is vague and not measurable. Dividing duties more evenly is not measurable and has no time element. Learning to discuss negative emotions does not mean using what is learned, so it is not as specific as the correct answer.
