Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: The patient is demonstrating altruism, a curative factor of group dynamics that describes the effect of feeling good about having something to offer or helping other members of the group. While the other answer choices are curative factors of group dynamics, they do not describe the patient's statement. Catharsis is being able to share feelings and experiences and not hold them in. Universality is the idea that the individual is not alone or unique in suffering. Instillation of hope is a belief that treatment can be effective.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Researchers have found the theoretical orientation of the leader affects the level of group cohesion. Leaders who do not emphasize group rules or interpersonal orientation impair group cohesion. Trust, uniqueness, and universality are not factors that are most impaired when the group leader does not emphasize group rules or interpersonal orientation.
