Answer to Question 1

B
Asking for others to share their experiences will facilitate discussion of an issue. Option A gives
information and may serve to close off discussion of the issue because it sounds final. Option C
implies a discussion of the issue is not appropriate. Option D is inappropriate at this point
considering the client has identified feelings of sadness and seems to have a readiness to explore this
feeling.

Answer to Question 2

D
Flunitrazepam is also known as the date rape drug because it produces disinhibition and relaxation
of voluntary muscles as well as anterograde amnesia for events that occur. The other options do not
reflect symptoms commonly seen after use of this drug.
