Answer to Question 1

C
Humanistic theories emphasize the total person, which serves as the basis of holistic care. Assertiveness training refers to teaching a person to express his needs in nonaggressive ways. Behaviorism is the belief that all behavior is learned, and behavior modification is a therapy that teaches clients new behaviors that can be used to replace dysfunctional behavior.

Answer to Question 2

B
The concept of least restrictive environment begins to break down when the client is unable to care for himself. Competence must be demonstrated. It is not the responsibility of a client who is not competent to request a longer length of stay. Without proper support and resources, compliance with treatment will most likely not improve.
