Answer to Question 1

B
A psychoeducational group explores the causes of schizophrenia, the role of medication, the
importance of medication compliance, support for the ill member, and hints for living with a
schizophrenic person. Such a group can be of immeasurable practical assistance to the family. The
other types of therapy do not focus on psychoeducation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Rationale: Options A, B, and C promote a normal elimination pattern. Option D: Increasing the
intake of stimulants such as caffeine may make the client feel jittery and anxious when the client is
already feeling unwell. Option E: No indication exists that processed foods should be restricted.
