Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Asking the client to identify specific accomplishments to achieve in the therapeutic relationship is a common question to ask during the orientation phase. Asking questions about relationships and problematic behaviors is more appropriate upon entering the working phase, after establishing trust and rapport with the client. Evaluating satisfaction and accomplishments made during the relationship is an important aspect of the termination phase.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The most effective intervention would be to actively listen to the client and provide support. Discouraging the use of psychometric tests that might support the diagnosis, confronting with secondary gain issues, and flooding the client with stressful stimuli are not helpful interventions for this client.
