Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The behavior that indicates improved social interaction is spending more time interacting with
others. The other indicators are desirable but not related to improved social interaction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because obsessive-compulsive clients become overly involved in the rituals, promotion of
involvement with other people and activities is necessary to improve coping. Daily activities prevent
constant focus on anxiety and symptoms. The other interventions focus on the compulsive symptom.
