  a. Grieving for what is lost is a normal part of having a mental disorder..
  b. How have others in the group handled painful feelings like these?
  c. It is often better to focus on our successes rather than our failures..
  d. I wonder if you might also experience feelings of anger and helplessness..

Answer to Question 1

B
Asking for others to share their experiences will facilitate discussion of an issue. Option A gives
information and may serve to close off discussion of the issue because it sounds final. Option C
implies a discussion of the issue is not appropriate. Option D is inappropriate at this point
considering the client has identified feelings of sadness and seems to have a readiness to explore this
feeling.

Answer to Question 2

D
Flunitrazepam is also known as the date rape drug because it produces disinhibition and relaxation
of voluntary muscles as well as anterograde amnesia for events that occur. The other options do not
reflect symptoms commonly seen after use of this drug.
