Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The discipline charged with the responsibility of helping a client regain skills to function in the home or work environment is occupational therapy. The physical therapist's work is focused more on musculoskeletal problems and increasing mobility and decreasing pain. The occupational therapist's work is much broader, focusing on physical, psychological, and social needs. Social workers focus on helping people cope with and solve personal and family problems such as long-term care placement, availability of resources, and referrals to resources. Respiratory therapists focus on management of respiratory issues.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 1, 4

There are five stages, or levels, of conflict. Latent conflict is always present when there is a complex organization or when roles are differentiated and may come into conflict. Perceived conflict is when awareness begins. The conflict may or may not progress beyond a latent or perceived level. When it does progress, felt conflict occurs, and hostilities, anxieties, and stress erupt. Overt conflict results when the conflict is acted out and battle lines are drawn. Conflict aftermath comes about with a resolution, which may or may not be optimal. The results may range from full cooperation to active or passive resistance. Although the conflict is resolved, the behaviors may still be affected. There may be difficulty letting go of feelings once there is resolution.
