Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Thought stopping uses techniques such as rubber band snapping, saying stop aloud, and stomping
one's foot to interrupt obsessive thinking. Option A: Modeling involves the therapist acting as a role
model to demonstrate an appropriate behavior. Option B: Flooding exposes a client to a large
amount of a feared stimulus in an effort to extinguish the anxiety response. Option C:
Desensitization involves gradual exposure to a feared stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Flashbacks are not part of the symptom picture of generalized anxiety disorder. All other topics are
appropriate health teaching for this client.
