Answer to Question 1

B
Intervention techniques are learned behaviors and must be practiced to be used in a smooth,
organized fashion. Every member of the intervention team should be assigned a specific task to carry
out before beginning the intervention. The other options are useless if the staff does not know how to
use physical techniques and how to apply them in an organized fashion.

Answer to Question 2

B
The inability to obtain shelter because of negative attitudes about mental illness is an example of
stigma. Stigma is defined as damage to reputation, the covert and sometimes overt shame and
ridicule our society places on mental illness. Option A: Data are not present to identify grief as a
client problem. Option C: Data do not suggest that the client is actually homeless. Option D:
Insurance parity is not relevant to the scenario.
