Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: A client's religious beliefs could prevent the client from taking constructive action to change behaviors. Exploring religious beliefs and alternative values is useful if the client initiates such an action. Clients raised in restrictive family environments may not realize that a ban on discussing family problems with others is unhealthy.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: It can be difficult to assess the client because of the psychobiologic factors involved. It is not always easy to be kind, nonjudgmental, and understanding with this group of clients. Both objective and subjective information should be included in the assessment.
