Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale 1: It is appropriate to consider the seriousness of the disorder, since the impact on the family will be in proportion to the degree of seriousness.
Rationale 2: It is appropriate to consider the effect of the illness on future family functioning. (For instance, previous patterns might be restored, or new patterns might be established.)
Rationale 3: The age of the affected member is generally not impactful, since such an illness at any age will affect the family function.
Rationale 4: It is appropriate to consider the financial impact of the illness, which is influenced by factors such as insurance and the ability of the ill member to return to work.
Rationale 5: The number of members in the family has little impact on the overall change an illness will cause.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: An appropriately functioning family has the economic resources needed by the family secured by adult members.
Rationale 2: An appropriately functioning family provides support, understanding, and encouragement to all without rigid expectations that unnecessarily force decisions.
Rationale 3: An appropriately functioning family creates an atmosphere that influences the cognitive and the psychosocial growth of its members.
Rationale 4: An appropriately functioning family supports each other and the family unit.
Rationale 5: An appropriately functioning family provides support, understanding, and encouragement to all as they progress through predictable developmental stages, as they move in or out of the family unit, and as they establish new family units.
