Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Involuntary commitment protects clients who are dangerous to themselves or others and cannot care
for their own basic needs. Involuntary commitment also protects other individuals in society. The
behaviors described in the other options are not sufficient to require involuntary hospitalization.

Answer to Question 2

C
Solitary, noncompetitive activities that require concentration are best while the client is overtly
psychotic. Having to concentrate minimizes hallucinatory and delusional preoccupation. Options A,
B, and D are all competitive.
