Answer to Question 1

C
This outcome relates directly to the focus of the group, self-care. The other options are desirable
outcomes but are unrelated to the group's purpose.

Answer to Question 2

C
Remotivation therapy is designed to resocialize regressed and apathetic clients by focusing on a
single topic, creating a bridge to reality as group members talk about the world in which they live
and work and hobbies related to the topic. Group members are given acceptance and appreciation by
group leaders.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
