Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: We will listen to each other's best and worst experiences of the last week. This activity alone is not directed toward developing coping strategies or self-monitoring. Further work is needed to learn how the client responded and what coping skills the client might have applied.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Involuntary commitment is reserved for those individuals who are dangerous to self or others or unable to meet their basic needs. The threats to the client's family are considered a danger to others. The client's use of profanity, reports of auditory hallucinations, or the use of marijuana are not criteria for involuntary commitment.
