Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The macrosystem includes the formal and informal social structures and societal influences that make up children and their families' world: neighborhood, schools, workplaces, churches, and social service agencies.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The literature confirms that a significant factor in the underdetection of IPV rests with professional behavior (Reid and Glasser, 1997). Health care practitioners often fail to identify and intervene with abused women. The underlying dynamics of poor screening practices are complex and include both biases and knowledge deficits. Screening tools are brief and easy to implement.
