Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The focus of the therapeutic relationship is on the client. It is consciously directed as the care provider establishes a connection with the client to help him or her cope with life demands. Acceptance, rapport, genuineness, and therapeutic use of self are the characteristics used to accomplish this. Problem solving on the part of the care provider does not help the client to cope. Support is provided for the client, it is not mutual.

Answer to Question 2

A
The community support systems (CSS) model works by coordinating social, medical, and psychiatric services. Case management refers to individual management of clients and takes into consideration psychosocial rehabilitation, consults, referrals, therapy, and crisis intervention. A multidisciplinary health care team is made up of all of the professionals who work within a mental health care system, and client population simply refers to individuals who may potentially seek mental health care.
