Answer to Question 1

C
Prior life experiences with pets is a major factor influencing a client's desire to participate in animal-assisted therapy (AAT). Individuals who have had previous pets may have experienced pleasure with interacting with their pets. Often pets and their owners form a bond that can be very strong. Pets are often used to reduce feelings of loneliness.

Answer to Question 2

C
Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or acts. The compulsions serve as a method of reducing the anxiety that the person experiences from the obsessive thoughts.
