Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Being empathetic is an active process requiring careful listening and attending to the client. Direct eye contact, a concerned expression, occasional head nods, and a lean forward while listening are nonverbal communication skills that convey empathy. Empathetic responses, such as You're going through a difficult time, can provide clients with an opportunity to listen to themselves and gain self-awareness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
All issues and problems can be subsumed under one or a combination of Beck's cognitive triad. One client may be more concerned about self (Can I do this?). This client is concerned about the future (Will there be a job for me? Will I be able to survive on my own?).
