Answer to Question 1

C
Dysfunctional families often try to protect the patient, avoid confrontation, and blame themselves. These are called enabling behaviors. Making the patient responsible for the consequences of drinking is difficult and usually requires professional support and/or involvement in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

Answer to Question 2

D
Providing evidence-based practice requires searching the research literature, critically synthesizing research findings, and applying relevant evidence to practice. The other activities are myths about what makes effective practitioners.
