Answer to Question 1

D
Option D suggests the wife may not be entirely comfortable getting up and using the crutches to get
to the bathroom and would actually prefer that the husband stayed home to help her. This remark
places the husband in a double bind, a situation in which no acceptable response exists. The husband
is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.. Options A, B, and C are clear, direct
communications.

Answer to Question 2

A
The goal for a symptom management group is that members will learn coping skills from each other,
such as relapse prevention for clients with chronic schizophrenia by developing a plan for action at
the first sign of losing control. Option B: Relapse prevention is not possible. Options C and D:
Relapse prevention may not be the best focus for these clients. A more meaningful focus might be
increased control over symptomatic behaviors.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
