Answer to Question 1

A
The first step toward effective intervention with survivors of family violence is the exploration of one's own attitude toward and knowledge about violence.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients admitted involuntarily retain the right to receive and refuse treatment. They also retain the right to informed consent and the right to control personal affairs. However, they lose the right of free will to leave the hospital at any time.
