Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
In the role of contracting family, individuals release young adults to work, college, military service, and marriage with appropriate assistance; adjust the couple relationship as children leave the family home; and expand the family circle with the marriage or relationships of children.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Family consultation is a secondary prevention strategy based on the assumption that the model family dealing with SPMI is healthy and competent but lacks sufficient knowledge and skills. In the role of family consultant, nurses mentor families to expand their experientially based knowledge and to help them access NAMI or other family organizations.
