Answer to Question 1

C
Cognitive behavioral therapy attempts to alter the client's dysfunctional beliefs by focusing on
positive outcomes rather than negative attributions. The client is also taught the connection between
thoughts and resultant feelings. Research shows that cognitive behavioral therapy involves the
formation of new connections between nerve cells in the brain and that it is at least as effective as
medication. Evidence is not present to support superior outcomes for the other psychotherapeutic
modalities mentioned.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In the Hispanic culture, good etiquette requires accepting offers of food and spending some time in
small talk before getting down to business. The nurse behaved impolitely by the client's standards.
Option A: Rapid cycling is related to rapid mood swings of bipolar disorder. Option C: Data are not
present to suggest that the nurse touched on a taboo topic. Option D: Clients of Hispanic culture
engage in high touch behaviors.
