Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ineffective coping is evident in the adolescent's response to family stress and discord. Adolescents value peer interactions, and yet this child has eliminated that source of support. The distracters are not supported by the data in this scenario.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Group therapy for young children takes the form of play. For elementary school children, therapy combines play and talk about the activity. For adolescents, group therapy involves more talking.
