Answer to Question 1

Ans: D

Cognitive goals involve increasing client knowledge. These goals may be evaluated by asking clients to repeat information or to apply new knowledge in their everyday lives.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

It is most beneficial for the manager to frame incident reports as sources of improvement, which can improve both client care and the work environment. Punitive follow-up by demotion, probation, or removal is likely to create reluctance among staff to complete incident reports. Cross-referencing incident reports with client satisfaction reports is unlikely to result in substantial improvements to the unit's care and culture.
