Answer to Question 1

A
Often the general health needs of the middle-aged adult community are not easily addressed. People of this age group usually only visit health care providers when they are ill.

Answer to Question 2

B
Role competence refers to the family member's ability to perform a role. Role overload is an extension of role stress or strain that occurs when the family member lacks the time, resources, or energy to perform the role. Role conflict occurs when the expectations for one role are incompatible with those of another role. Situational role transitions are changes that are made in roles when families experience the addition or loss of a family member.
