Answer to Question 1

A
Of the options listed, the priority assessment should be the victim's coping mechanisms. The other options have little relevance.

Answer to Question 2

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.
