Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

1. Helping the family members to better advocate and communicate within the family would help to decrease the high emotion at home, improve social support, and provide a backdrop for more effective problem solving in the home. Medication is indicated for serious mental health disorders, not for resolving conflicts. Identifying a family member as causing conflict (identified patient role) is an indication of family dysfunction, not an intervention to resolve it. Collaborative, rather than authoritative, decision making helps resolve conflicts.
