Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The orientation that psychological problems are caused by a physical imbalance is prevalent among
Asian Americans. These clients often expect healers to focus on treatment of the physical symptoms
and believe the psychological symptoms will then subside. Option A: Hospitalization will likely be
short. Option B: The client will probably respond best to a therapist who is perceived as giving; thus
giving a medication to treat the back pain would be expected by the client. Option D: Asian
Americans usually have strong family ties. Information from the family may be invaluable.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
These statements show severe self-doubt, indicating that the crisis of gaining control over the
environment was not successfully met. Option A: Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of initiative
versus guilt would result in feelings of guilt. Option B: Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of trust
versus mistrust results in poor interpersonal relationships and suspicion of others. Option D:
Unsuccessful resolution of the crisis of generativity versus self-absorption results in self-absorption
that limits the ability to grow as a person.
