Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Why questions often imply criticism or seem intrusive or judgmental. They are difficult to answer;
thus they are barriers to communication. The other options are therapeutic in nature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Symptoms often worsen when the client is discharged from the hospital and no longer has the
support and structure of the hospital setting. The client can remain in the community if he or she can
cope with the symptoms and situational demands (i.e., maintain stability). The goals listed in the
other options are unrealistically high.
