Answer to Question 1

C
An appropriate psychoeducational focus for clients with schizophrenia is relapse prevention. During
the group clients would identify behaviors and symptoms that signal relapse and develop plans for
preventing their occurrence. Option A: A more concrete outcome is called for. Option B: This would
not necessarily be appropriate. Option D: This is undesirable.

Answer to Question 2

complex behaviors during REM sleep as though acting out his dreams. Option A: Sleep paralysis
refers to the sudden inability to perform voluntary movement either at sleep onset or awakening
from sleep. Option B: Bruxism refers to grinding teeth during stage 2 sleep. Option C: Night terror
disorder occurs as arousal in the first third of the night during non-REM sleep and is accompanied
by feelings of panic.
