Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Although the family as a whole differs from individual members, the measure of family health is more than a summary of the health of all members. The form, structure, function, and health of the family are areas unique to family assessment. Although individual health is important, it varies from the family focus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Social scientists have identified four trends as threats facing the family. These include (1) changing economic status, (2) homelessness, (3) family violence, and (4) the presence of acute or chronic illness. Many homosexual couples define their relationship in family terms, but homosexual families are not listed as a threat facing the family.
