    What is the definition of a dysfunctional family?

    • One that cannot communicate very well

    • One that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment

    • One that cannot provide financially for those in it

    Correct Answer
    A. One that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment
    Explanation
    A dysfunctional family is defined as one that is consistently unable to provide a safe and nurturing environment. This means that the family is unable to create a supportive and stable atmosphere for its members, resulting in emotional, physical, or psychological harm. Communication issues and financial struggles may be present in a dysfunctional family, but they are not the defining characteristics. The focus is on the inability to create a safe and nurturing environment, which is essential for healthy family dynamics.

    Homeostasis is the tendency towards maintaining a balance.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is correct because homeostasis refers to the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment despite external changes. It involves various physiological processes that work together to regulate body temperature, blood pressure, pH levels, and other vital functions. By constantly monitoring and adjusting these factors, the body ensures that it stays within a narrow range necessary for optimal functioning. Therefore, homeostasis is indeed the tendency towards maintaining a balance.

Gambling addiction can result in financial instability and dishonesty, causing trust issues and conflicts within the family. Eating disorders can cause emotional distress and tension within the family, as well as potential health concerns. These behaviors can all disrupt the harmony and functioning of a family unit.

    How can dysfunctional families be said to communicate?

    • Laterally

    • Sideways

    • Reciprocally

    Correct Answer
    A. Sideways
    Explanation
    Dysfunctional families can be said to communicate "sideways" because communication within such families often occurs indirectly or through nonverbal cues. In dysfunctional families, open and direct communication is often avoided, and family members may resort to passive-aggressive behavior, manipulation, or avoidance tactics to express their thoughts and emotions. This sideways communication style can create misunderstandings, conflicts, and a lack of emotional connection within the family.
