Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
This measure will promote the establishment of rapport and demonstrate respect and acceptance of the client. It will facilitate client willingness to communicate thoughts and feelings without making demands on the client. 1. This measure is unnecessary; a headshake or nod would work as well. 3. Clients should not simply be ordered about; they should be asked to respond without placing excessive demands. 4. Clients with psychomotor retardation have the ability to hear, but their ability to process information may be slowed, requiring well-paced simple communication.
