Answer to Question 1

C
For support a group to be effective in meeting its goal, members must agree on compassionate listening. When nurses join together to develop formal or informal support groups, one of the simplest tasks is to listen to their colleagues with an open heart. The act of intentional listening can make all the difference during a difficult time.

Answer to Question 2

C
One of the five essential services mandated by the CMHCCA was 24-hour emergency care. Other services included inpatient care for clients requiring short-term hospitalization, partial hospitalization incorporating day and night care, outpatient treatment, and consultation or education for the community.
