Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

B
Interrupted Family Processes is used when a family is unable to meet the physical, emotional, or spiritual needs of its members. The family would require support to find a new adjustment or equilibrium to regain its function. The family in the question has experienced the death of a family member, which has left the wife depressed. This disruption is only compounded by the child being bitten by the dog.
