When a functional family is faced with a crisis or unexpected situation, which of the following behaviors do they exhibit to overcome it?
a. Avoid the conflict and focus on positive aspects of their lives.
b. Isolate the family and attempt to reach resolution without outside interference.
c. Maintain clear and supportive communication to address the crisis.
d. Look to the head of the family to resolve based on role.
C
A functional family unit is described by what it does (processes) to achieve its goals. These processes include clear and supportive communications among all family members. Isolating the family does not allow them to use resources outside the family, avoidance of conflict does not promote resolution, and assigning goal planning to one member does not describe the actions of a functional family.
