Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
An open-ended, nonjudgmental response to clients' stories is most likely to benefit the client and promote therapeutic relationship and communication. A practical analysis of the details of the event is less likely to benefit the client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The Clubhouse program is a voluntary, participatory group of clients who work together to secure and sustain employment, locate and maintain appropriate housing, and participate in recreational and social activities. The nurse uses elements of this approach by teaching the client social skills. The nurse also teaches the client the skills necessary for independent living, such as housekeeping, shopping, and cooking. Therapy and medical and legal assistance are not central aspects of this model.
