Answer to Question 1

B
The shelter will provide a safer environment than living on the street. Options 1, 3, and 4: Shelters
do not provide a great deal of privacy or autonomy, and they do not secure SSI for clients.

Answer to Question 2

A
Anger has a strong cognitive component, so using cognition to manage anger is logical. Option B is
punitive. Options C and D may not be necessary and do nothing to help the client learn anger
management.
