Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The five roles of the energized or healthy family include responding to family members' needs, coping actively with life's problems and stresses, accomplishing family tasks with equal distribution of power, encouraging interaction among family members and the community, and promoting positive personal health practices.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
In a closed family system, boundaries maintain family secrets (eg, sexual abuse, substance abuse, chronic psychiatric illness). The more closed or impermeable a family is to new information and resources, the less likely it will be to have the energy and knowledge to meet its expanding needs (Nichols, 2006).
