Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Codependents often engage in enabling behavior, which is any action an individual takes that consciously or unconsciously facilitates substance dependence. Although impatience, frustration intolerance, and argumentative behaviors may be present in this family, they are generally not related to the cycle of codependence and addiction.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, E

The biopsychosocial explanation of addiction is supported by current research and takes a more holistic view of the problem. The biopsychosocial explanation links biological, psychological, and social factors as contributing to the development of addiction. The view of addiction as a moral disease is nontherapeutic. Viewing addiction as only a behavioral or emotional problem oversimplifies a complex issue.
