Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Operant conditioning involves giving positive reinforcement for a desired behavior. Presuming the
child likes candy, candy will reinforce speech. Option A describes an aversive therapy technique.
Option B describes modeling. Option D is an example of systematic desensitization.

Answer to Question 2

C
Limits must be set in areas in which the client's behavior affects the rights of others. Limiting verbal
abuse of another client is a priority intervention. The other concerns should be addressed during
therapeutic encounters.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
