Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Explaining the rationale for doing or not doing the exercises is not using creativity. It is merely explaining the reason.
Rationale 2: This shows no creativity but merely dismissing the client's concerns and feelings.
Rationale 3: This doesn't show any creativity but merely dismisses the client's feelings.
Rationale 4: Making the exercise routine into something morelike a game, or drawing a picture, or even decorating the walls, for examplewould raise a challenge to the client, take the focus off the why, and still achieve the end result.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Socratic questioning is a technique one can use to look beneath the surface, recognize and examine assumptions, search for inconsistencies, examine multiple points of view, and differentiate what one knows from what one merely believes. Questions about evidence and reason focus on just that (e.g., what evidence is there, how do you know, what would change your mind).
Rationale 2: Asking about ways to study would be a question about the problem (studying) which is not an example of Socratic questioning..
Rationale 3: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences. which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
Rationale 4: Asking about the effects of studying is questioning about implications and consequences which is not an example of Socratic questioning.
