Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Health family functioning includes communication with each other and identifying and sharing feelings about the home situation. The family paying cash for health care does not support a family that is not functioning in a healthy way. The father comforting his crying daughter demonstrates healthy family functioning. The mother who believes the family could not function without could be a statement of frustration or evidence that the family needs her to maintain healthy functioning.
