Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Families should fulfill five functions: physical needs, economic needs, reproductive needs, affective and coping needs, and socialization needs. A child with poor social skills probably (but not necessarily) comes from a family that is not fulfilling the child's socialization needs. Assuming that the child has an emotional or mental illness without further assessment is unhelpful. Assuming that the family is lower income, is poorly educated, and has poor job skills is stereotypical.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Most definitions of family require at least two people who self-define as being part of that family. Thus, a single individual cannot be a family. A family of choice is the family adopted through marriage or cohabitation. A family of origin includes the individuals who reared the person of interest. A nuclear family consists of a male partner, a female partner, and their children.
