Answer to Question 1

C
Many people try to protect the dying person from experiencing emotions; however, emotional
honesty is important to both the client and the family. The client may be reassured knowing that the
family is facing the inevitable. Giving advice and making judgmental statements are not helpful.

Answer to Question 2

C
Placing the client in the job first, then giving individualized training in the field describes the
supported employment model that is now an evidence-based practice. Options A and B are not
supported by evidence as superior models. Option D is not a vocational rehabilitation model.
