Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3,4
Rationale: This family is currently living in a one-bedroom apartment and the sole income earner recently lost his job. This family would most benefit from social services programs for monetary assistance and job skills training which would allow the parents to learn a trade and become employed. Play groups, parenting programs, and respite care are not applicable to this family's situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The lack of safe bicycle paths in high-traffic areas is a community hazard affecting a large population of people. Ineffective family coping is appropriate for one family; alterations in nutrition and ineffective communication are not appropriate for the community as a whole.
