Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D, E
The genogram may be used to highlight generational influences of behaviors, illnesses, vocational information, or any other pertinent information that provides a larger picture of patterns that exert influence on the family's current situation. The genogram should include at least three family generations and should list dates of births, divorces, deaths, stillbirths, and other pertinent elements of family information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
In the 1950s and 1960s, families were father-dominated and nuclear in structure and shows focused on problems that were simple and easily solved. In the 1960s and 1970s, the trend was toward blended families (with widowhood being the reason for remarriage) that were mostly in an upper-income bracket. In the 1980s and 1990s, social issues such as class and politics became popular. The shows may not have shown resolution of the problem at hand, but emphasized the closeness of the family unit. In the 1990s, shows brought increased awareness of the challenges facing families dealing with a host of problems such as alcoholism, poverty, and abuse. In the new millennium, shows present alternative and extended family formats.
