Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Large groups (more than 8 to 10 members) are effective for specific problems or issues, such as smoking cessation or medication information, and are often used in the workplace. Transference and countertransference issues usually do not develop in large groups. Group cohesiveness is less in larger groups. Larger groups also can be challenging because of the increased number of potential interactions and relationships that can form.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Because the duration of client hospitalization is relatively short, open groups are typical on inpatient units, such as an inpatient anger management group. Closed groups are more typical of outpatient groups that have a sequential curriculum, or psychotherapy groups. Examples include outpatient smoking cessation, psychotherapy, and psychoeducation groups.
