Answer to Question 1

C
Discerning his feelings about relationship choices and commitment best meets the needs of this client at this time in his life. Improving his ability to adapt and developing his ability to establish and maintain an intimate relationship are not indicated in the scenario as an issue. Outlining his life's dream assists in building a positive personal identity but is too broad a task for this client at this time.

Answer to Question 2

1
Highest priority for continued life
