Answer to Question 1

D
One cannot conduct meaningful therapy with an intoxicated client. The client should be taken home
to recover, then make another appointment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This reframed statement is positive and realistic. It speaks to finding satisfaction and happiness
without measuring the self against another person. The other options show persistent negative,
irrational thinking about the self compared with the sister.
