Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bringing in only immediate family to limit stressors on the ill person is not an example of functional coping. It can actually increase stress on the immediate family members and limit the social support and resources available to them. The other options (working at keeping the family together, trying to understand the medical situation, and accepting any social support that is available) are examples of functional coping strategies that can help families better manage chronic illness.
