Answer to Question 1

D
Disabled family coping refers to the behavior of a significant family member that disables his or her
own capacity as well as another's capacity to perform tasks essential to adaptation. Option A:
Ineffective coping is inaccurate because more than one individual's coping is affected. Option B:
Impaired parenting deals with only a part of the problem. Option C: Caregiver role strain refers to
the caregiver's difficulty in performing family caregiver roles.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The operational definition of anxiety suggests that an expectation or need is unmet, causing anxiety
and prompting relief behavior. Options A and B: The scenario does not support a rationale
associated with anger or fear. Option D: The responses associated with anxiety are related to
sympathetic nervous system responses.
