Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: This describes a state in which a family with previous normal functioning experiences a dysfunction. The communication patterns have affected how the family works as a unit.
Rationale 2: Impaired Verbal Communication means that the members are not able to communicate because of complications with speaking or saying the words, which is not the case in this situation.
Rationale 3: Ineffective Family Coping must be related to an etiology, so this option is not worded correctly.
Rationale 4: Knowledge Deficiency is not correct as the family does recognize the problem since members of the family seek assistance from outside sources, as given in the scenario.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Cohabiting (or communal) families consist of unrelated individuals or families that live under one roof. Reasons for cohabiting may be a need for companionship, a desire to achieve a sense of family, sharing expenses, and household management.
Rationale 2: A blended family occurs when existing family units join together to form new families, also known as stepfamilies or reconstituted families.
Rationale 3: Foster family situations occur when children can no longer live with their birth parents and require placement with a family that has agreed to include them temporarily.
Rationale 4: Intragenerational families occur when more than two generations live together.
