Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Rehabilitation approaches emphasize specific interventions to address targeted areas of functioning and are strongly grounded in beliefs about empowerment of clients and emphasizing client feelings of control and worth. From a rehabilitation perspective, it is important to extend support to clients as long as possible. Support is not necessarily withdrawn because a client improves.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The client's behaviors are all components of what is commonly called the client's life script. The client is recreating her life experiences from the time spent on the street. The other choices are examples of nontherapeutic interactions.
