Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Termination in family therapy occurs in a flexible way, helping families achieve realistic goals, thus ending therapy with a feeling of accomplishment. The ability to give feedback to each other in a constructive manner is the sign of a healthy family. The ability to identify problems with communication is an early goal of therapy. Identifying faults and failures of others is not the focus of family therapy. Giving praise and criticism in equal measure is not a goal of family therapy and does not indicate the need for termination.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Some anticonvulsants are used in the treatment of mood instability. Antipsychotic medications treat hallucinations. Acetylcholinesteras e inhibitors treat memory issues. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are treated with benzodiazepines.
