Answer to Question 1

1,2,4
Rationale: People with schizophrenia have a greater potential for vulnerability to stress. The stressors a client with schizophrenia experiences can overwhelm the resources available and symptoms result.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Older people with severe and persistent schizophrenia can learn and maintain new skills and report improved functioning after cognitive behavioral social skills training. Mutual help groups do not provide enough structure for schizophrenic clients. Bible study groups may increase religious delusions. Dialectical behavior groups require understanding of abstract concepts that may be too difficult for severe and persistent schizophrenic clients to grasp.
