Ans: A, D
Feedback:
Routines are observable, repetitive patterns that involve two or more family members. These patterns are repetitive and predictable. Rituals, on the other hand, are more formal, repetitive patterns that strengthen family self-image or identity. Six categories of family health routines are as follows: self-care; safety and precaution; mental health behaviors; family care; illness care; and member care giving. Siblings brushing their teeth together before going to bed every night and the family taking a walk together each evening are examples of family health routines. Taking a child in for a sick visit is not a routine because it is not repetitive or predictable. Entering a 5K as a family each year is more of a ritual than a routine. The mother having a mammogram every year is not a family routine because she does it by herself.
