Answer to Question 1

2,5
Rationale: Family members appear to understand and respect individual boundaries. Problems in family communication patterns are less likely to exist if family members appear to understand and respect individual boundaries.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Suicide can be better understood if viewed in the context of the interpersonal relationship between two people: the suicidal person and the significant other. Broadly defined, the significant other can be a spouse, child, boss, landlord, friend, nurse, or other health care worker. The client's negative interpersonal relationship with her stepfather influenced her suicidal behavior.
