  unit.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Option 4 is correct because it acknowledges the client's feelings and directs him to the task at hand. Option 1 does not acknowledge his feelings. Cleanliness is not the issue, so option 2 is in-correct. Option 3 is incorrect because ignoring the orientation for 4 or 5 days is not helpful.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Acute stress reactions are characterized by indications of dissociation, such as those listed in op-tion 3, and may develop within a short time after the incident. Options 1 and 2 suggest severe mental disorders, and option 4 suggests somatization disorder.
