Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Community meetings involve staff and clients. Items pertinent to the functioning of the community

greeting new clients, and saying goodbye to clients being discharged might be included. Option A
describes individual therapy. Option B describes group therapy. Option D is evasive.
