Answer to Question 1

C
A functional family unit is described by what it does (processes) to achieve its goals. These processes include clear and supportive communications among all family members. Isolating the family does not allow them to use resources outside the family, avoidance of conflict does not promote resolution, and assigning goal planning to one member does not describe the actions of a functional family.

Answer to Question 2

C
The case manager should intervene by arranging temporary shelter for the patient until an apartment can be found. This is part of the coordination and deliver of services that falls under the case manager role. None of the other options is a viable alternative.
