Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Milieu management refers to providing an environment rich with therapeutic possibility. The inpatient client with a thought disorder likely has impaired judgment and reality testing. Also, safety needs are paramount. Health care staff members assume responsibility for the client's well-being and physical care when he or she cannot meet those basic needs.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Group therapy sessions focus on social skills, concentrating on appropriate interpersonal interaction. The therapist role-plays with the client, modeling and identifying suitable social actions and responses. The other listed subjects would be more appropriately addressed in individual settings.
