Answer to Question 1

C
No standards for preparation of herbal remedies exist, so dosages may vary widely even in
preparations made by one company. Option A: Continuity is not guaranteed. Option D is not
advisable because it does not recognize the importance of the alternative treatment to the client.

Answer to Question 2

A
Scapegoating is defined as blaming family problems on a member of the family who is not very
powerful. The purpose of the blaming is to keep the focus off the painful issues and problems of the
blamers. The behaviors described in options B and C are dysfunctional behaviors that have no
specific name. Option D refers to a double bind.
