Answer to Question 1

B, E
The leader must set ground rules for the group before members can effectively participate. Confidentiality of personal experiences should be maintained. Arriving on time is important to the group process. Talking to family members would jeopardize confidentiality. While groups are cost-effective, blaming the budget would not help members feel valued. Setting an expectation to share may be intimidating for a withdrawn patient.

Answer to Question 2

D
Revamping the marital relationship after children move out of the family of origin indicates that the family is moving through its stages of development. Strict family boundaries or roles interfere with flexibility and the use of outside resources. Adolescents should have some input into deciding their activities.
