Answer to Question 1

A
Expressing frustration verbally indicates that the patient has developed a healthier way of coping with frustration, which in turn reduces the likelihood of rage-related violence. The other options do not indicate that the risk of harm has been reduced.

Answer to Question 2

B
The energizer expedites the group progress and keeps the group moving.
