Answer to Question 1

B
Enmeshment results from high anxiety that keeps members emotionally bound to each other and
unable to define individual values and beliefs. To define individual values and beliefs would mark
progress in differentiation. Triangulation (option A) and subgrouping (option D) are not desirable.
Option C: The members already adhere to the family norms and rules.

Answer to Question 2

B
Recent studies have shown that sleep deprivation has proven effective in speeding response to
antidepressant medication and to improving sleep pattern. Sleep deprivation has not shown
effectiveness in providing direct control of suicidal ideation, auditory hallucinations, or symptoms of
anxiety.
