Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Prochaska and colleagues (1992) have established stages of change for individuals. These stages are precontemplation (no intention to change and perhaps no awareness of a problem), contemplation (awareness of a problem and thinking about change), preparation (getting ready to change), action (modifying behavior), and maintenance (working to prevent relapse).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The ecomap illustrates the family's interaction with larger external systems, including community agencies and groups.
