Answer to Question 1

D
The patient is experiencing distress rather than dysfunction related to spirituality.

Answer to Question 2

B
The family life cycle model looks at the family as having predictable developmental tasks to accomplish during specific phases of life. Examples include children becoming more independent or venturing out on their own and parents planning midcareer job changes.
The changes in the family noted here are predictable, do not involve inadequate or blurred boundaries, and are not transmitted across generations.
