Answer to Question 1

A
An open group is a group that adds members throughout the life of the group. Option B: A closed
group does not add new members. Option C: Time-limited refers to a group that meets for a specific
number of sessions, then terminates. Option D: Milieu therapy refers to groups such as recreational,
physical activity, creative arts, and story-telling groups.

Answer to Question 2

D
Both dementia and depression in the elderly may produce symptoms of confusion. To help
distinguish whether depression or dementia is producing the confused behavior, note whether the
confusion seems to increase at night. This occurs more often with dementia than with depression.
The other options are not necessarily true.
