Answer to Question 1

A
Cognitive reframing focuses on recognizing and correcting maladaptive patterns of thinking that create stress or interfere with coping. Cognitive reframing involves recognizing the habit of thinking about a situation or issue in a fixed, irrational, and unquestioning manner. Helping the patient to recognize and reframe (reword) such thoughts so that they are realistic and accurate promotes coping and reduces stress. Thinking about being in calming circumstances is a form of guided imagery. Instruments that give feedback about bodily functions are used in biofeedback. Journaling is effective for helping to increase self-awareness. However, none of these last three interventions is likely to alter the patient's manner of thinking.

Answer to Question 2

B
Recidivism remains a problem for both health care professionals and their clients. Coordinating care between the community and the institution helps to reduce the number of admissions to facilities. Relapse refers to the return to maladaptive behavior; remission is a period of partial or complete disappearance of symptoms; and exacerbation refers to the reoccurrence of symptoms.
