Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Giving information in a calm, simple manner will help the client grasp the important facts.
Introducing extraneous topics, as in options A, C, and D, will further scatter his attention.

Answer to Question 2

C, D, B, A
Rationale: The case manager, using principles of crisis stabilization, would first clarify the situation,
then identify realistic goals considering the client's strengths. The case manager would then assess
availability of additional help from the client's social support system. If additional help from the
support system is not possible, the case manager must actively engage in problem solving to find
new resources to assist the client.
