Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

The main rationale for including family in clients' care is that their progress in recovery is faster than if family is excluded. The importance of this improvement in outcomes supersedes legal and ethical obligations.

Ans: C
Feedback:
The successful outcome measures for family education are reduced family burden and improvement in the family's quality of life. Client improvement often accompanies this outcome, but is not a primary goal.
