Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Structural or functional abnormalities of the brain have been suggested to lead to the somatoform
disorders, resulting in disturbed processes of perception and interpretation of bodily sensations.
Furthermore, cognitive theorists believe clients misinterpret the meaning of certain bodily sensations
and then become excessively alarmed by them. Option B: Traumatic childhood events are related to
the dissociative disorders. Option C: Culture-bound phenomena may explain the prevalence of some
symptoms but cannot explain the cause. Option D: Somatoform disorders are not seen to be another
facet of depression; however, depression may coexist with a somatoform disorders.

Answer to Question 2

D
The activities that should be provided for a severely depressed client call for minimal concentration
and involve gross motor skills rather than fine motor skills. The other interventions related to
physiological integrity are appropriate.
