Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Option C is the only question that directly addresses healing options.

structure or support often required by clients with amnesia. Option C: Probing is not a recommended
strategy for a client with amnesia. Option D: Clients with amnesia need a balanced activity schedule
that allows for rest because they often feel fatigued.
