Answer to Question 1

A
Family management function refers to decisions regarding issues of power, rule making, provision
of financial support, goods allocation, and future planning. The management functions described in
the scenario should be assessed as healthy and appropriate. The scenario does not refer to other
family functions such as boundary, communication, or emotional-supportive functions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The goal for the termination phase of groups is to prepare the group for separation and prepare each
member for the future. Contributions of members and the experience as a group are acknowledged
as part of termination. Option A: Individual goals should have been achieved before termination.
Option B: Relationship-building will have been completed before termination. Option C: This is a
goal for all stages and is not exclusive to termination.
