Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Meditation uses the techniques described. Imagery requires the patient to focus on a pleasant scene. The scenario does not describe relaxation or recreation, although the end result of meditation should be relaxation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In order to change or modify co-dependent behavior, the individual must recognize that the behavior is co-dependent and must come to understand its effects on patients and peers. Recreation is not the key to modifying co-dependent behavior. Intensive therapy may not be required to modify co-dependent behavior. Establishing vulnerability has nothing to do with modifying co-dependent behavior.
