Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An ecomap provides information useful in assessing a family's social risks. The genogram is an effective technique for assessing biological family risks. Economic risk is determined by the rela-tionship between family financial resources and the demands on those resources. Biological risk considers risk for development of major illnesses or conditions and may be assessed through a genogram. Lifestyle risk relates to personal health habits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Voluntarily assumed risks are tolerated better than those imposed by others. Smoking cigarettes is a voluntarily assumed risk as a personal health choice. A newly built power plant, speeding ve-hicles, and industrial pollution are all risks that one does not have personal control over.
