Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Members who test boundaries through sexually provocative, flattering, or insulting remarks should have limits set promptly. The group leader should refer to the work of the group as being of the highest priority and tactfully ask the person to align remarks with the group purpose. Limits need to be set promptly within the group. The group member should not be excused at this stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The final phase of group development, termination or adjournment, ideally occurs when the group members have achieved desired outcomes. This phase is about task completion and disengagement. The leader encourages the group members to express their feelings about one another with the stipulation that any concerns the group may have about an individual member or suggestions for future growth should be stated in a constructive way. The leader closes the group with a summary of goal achievement. By waiting until the group ends to share closing comments, the leader has an opportunity to soften or clarify previous comments and to connect cognitive and feeling elements that need to be addressed. Engagement occurs during the forming stage, and active interventions occur during the performing stage.
