Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Beck developed the cognitive triad to help understand the interaction of the client's negative view of self, the world, and the future. All issues and problems can be subsumed under one or a combination of these three areas.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The client may cognitively distort either positively or negatively. The client exhibiting positive distortion may take chances that most would avoid (eg, risky stock deals) or be unrealistically positive about health-threatening conditions (eg, ignoring chest pains or an unusual lump). Negative distortions include: I always do it wrong, Nobody likes me, or It's all his fault Usually, negative distortions are maladaptive and become the focus of treatment, which involves identification of the effects of the distortion on the client's life.
