Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A double-bind communication is one that is inherently contradictory, that is, a comment that gives conflicting directions. In this case, the wife on crutches suggests that her husband should go bowling but then indicates that she will be at greater risk if he does, which in effect tells him go ahead and don't do it at the same time. This remark places the husband in a double bind, a situation in which no acceptable response exists. The distracters are clear, direct communications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 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. The distracters are inaccurate because the stressors influence more than one individual.
