Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: It is important to focus on maintaining the routines and schedules of cognitive behavioral interventions once a plan of care has been established. Homework assignments and practice using more competent responses will ensure that the client retains the skills obtained in therapy. The case manager can be helpful in sustaining that structure. The variety of interventions, such as group or individual therapy, behavior modification, and self-study can all be promoted and supported through case management.

Answer to Question 2

4,5
Rationale: Residential special care units. These units are assisted living facilities for clients with cognitive impairment caused by diseases of the Alzheimer's type (DAT).
