Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Options B, C, and D describe events that occur in social or intimate relationships. Only option 1
describes the elements of a therapeutic relationship.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Managed care has resulted in very short hospital stays, much shorter than clients experienced in the
past when discharge occurred only when the client was reasonably well suited to resume community
responsibilities. Option A: Crisis situations often precede admission. Generally, both client and
family are relieved. Option C: Hospitalization is currently no more restrictive or unpleasant than
before the advent of managed care. Option D: Hospitalization can be guaranteed not to be long
enough to be considered a vacation.
