Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This client would hold a Western worldview and value autonomy, independence, and self-reliance.
He would see time as linear and would have an internal locus of control. Self-action would be a high
priority. Options A and C: The clients would hold indigenous worldviews. Option B: The client
would hold an Eastern worldview. For options A, B, and C, the concept of person is defined more in
relationship to others, and the locus of control is self-rooted in tradition or in natural forces. The
need for independence and self-reliance is far less. Tradition, fate, or other forces are seen as being
in control.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Depersonalization is sometimes preceded by severe stress; however, many authorities believe
depersonalization disorder is associated with childhood emotional abuse. Options A, B, and D have
not been implicated as causative factors.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
