Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The outcome of the intervention should be to get the client to the highest level of functioning possible, which typically is consistent with the pre-crisis level of function. Distraction, refocusing on other areas of life, and ignoring the situation that triggered the crisis are not therapeutic interventions.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Group therapy provides stimuli from multiple sources, revealing distortions in interpersonal relationships so that they can be examined and resolved. The goal of group therapy is not to stifle emotions. A result of examining and resolving issues may be to effectively process and handle emotions.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
