Answer to Question 1

B
There are several common trouble spots in family life that can be anticipated. Learning ways to handle these troublesome areas empowers the family by giving them a sense of control over their lives. Some of these trouble spots include mechanics of everyday life, including the need for privacy and control over personal space, keeping a regular schedule, television usage, money management, grooming, alcohol and drug use, and a need for relatives to remember to take care of themselves. The remaining options do not support the patient in achieving self-reliance.

Answer to Question 2

C
Cognitive therapy is considered task oriented, because interventions include homework assignments between sessions. For example, a client dealing with problems of anger and risk for violence may be asked to keep a journal detailing feelings of anger, situations bringing on angry feelings, and immediate behaviors following angry feelings.
