Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
An outcome is something that is measurable and specific to the individual. Since the only information available is the diagnosis, the most specific outcome is the one that is directly related to family factors, such as parental conflict and poor parenting. Although academic performance, verbal reprimands, and verbalization of the pathology all are affected by conduct disorders, the behaviors associated with the disorder are most effectively managed by focused parenting techniques that minimize them and the resulting conflicts.
