Answer to Question 1

A
Continuation sometimes occurs when a client is fearful of ending the therapeutic relationship. This response is characterized by a client's trying to continue the relationship by bringing up new problems or having the caregiver solve his problems. Regression and withdrawal are also client responses to termination, but they do not fit the description in this situation. Confabulation is not a response to termination. It refers to the making up of answers by a client who is experiencing a memory loss.

Answer to Question 2

C
A dysthymic disorder is daily moderate depression that lasts for longer than 2 years. Anxiety refers to a vague uneasy feeling; bipolar disorder is manic-depressive disorder; and major depressive disorder refers to severe depression.
