Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Increased anxiety results in scattered thoughts and an inability to articulate clearly. Clarifying helps
the client identify thoughts and feelings. Option A is a nontherapeutic question for which the client
likely does not have an answer. Option B: The client may be unable to determine this. Option D is a
directive the client is probably unable to accomplish.

Answer to Question 2

A
Enabling denies the seriousness of the client's problem or supports the client as he or she shifts
responsibility from self to circumstances. The other options are therapeutic and appropriate.
