Answer to Question 1

A
Taking over occurs when a family member fails to allow another member to develop a sense of responsibility and self-worth. By doing the client's laundry and managing finances, the mother is fostering the client's dependence.

Answer to Question 2

C
Stage IV of the family life cycle is described as The Family with Adolescents. The task of this stage is to redefine the level of dependence so that adolescents are provided with greater autonomy while parents remain responsive to teenagers' dependency needs.
