Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is important to understand family characteristics, particularly in a family under stress. Expression of feelings is an important aspect of assessment of the family's function (or dysfunction). The distracters relate more to outcome identification and planning interventions, both of which should be delayed until the assessment is complete.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Desired outcomes might be set for the family as a whole or for individuals within the family. The outcome most closely associated with the anxiety that each member is experiencing is to focus on identifying and describing ways of coping with the anxiety. The other options are not appropriate at this time.
