Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Cognitive and behavioral treatment consists of identifying and recognizing maladaptive thinking styles and working toward the acquisition of new skills for managing stressors. Features of treatment include teaching, interpreting, reframing, and learning and practicing new behaviors. Once thoughts and behaviors are realistically and rationally framed and implemented, emotional reactions will be consistent with them. Seeking social support and expressing affection are not part of cognitive and behavioral therapy. The client's need is to reframe, not just receive a suggested alternative behavior.

Answer to Question 2

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Sitting and walking erectly, washing and combing hair, and participating in activities that can be completed successfully increase feelings of self-worth. Verbalizing positive aspects of self minimizes a negative self-view. Eating enough meals and snacks to meet daily calorie requirements deals with inadequate nutrition, not negative thinking and self-esteem.
