Answer to Question 1

B
This is an easy method of assessing the client's reading ability and is less anxiety provoking than having the client read aloud. Abstract thinking is assessed by methods such as assessing the ability of the client to understand similarities; general knowledge can be assessed by asking questions such as how many months are in a year or discussing current events; and memory can be assessed by testing immediate, recent, and remote memory.

Answer to Question 2

C
As the continuum moves toward maladaptive, sexual behaviors become impaired or dysfunctional. The adaptive end of the continuum consists of satisfying sexual behaviors that respect the rights and wishes of others. The other options do not relate to the continuum.
