Answer to Question 1

C
Providing information about drugs and alcohol is important because adolescents may choose to participate in risk-taking behaviors. Adolescents need to socialize but need supervision. Parents can encourage and support learning processes associated with driving, but organized classes can help to decrease motor vehicle accidents. Seatbelts should be used all the time.

Answer to Question 2

D
Yearning and searching characterize the second bereavement phase in the Bowlby Attachment Theory. Emotional outbursts are common in this phase. During the numbing phase, the family may feel a sense of unreality. During disorganization and despair, the reason why the loss occurred is constantly questioned. Bargaining is part of the Kbler-Ross stages, not of the Bowlby Attachment Theory.
