Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
These questions specifically address the client's coping resources and encourage the client to apply learning from past experiences. These questions also encourage the client to consider alternative methods for dealing with stress. Asking who is to blame does not assess coping abilities but, rather, encourages maladaptive behavior. Requesting an explanation is a nontherapeutic block to communication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
Focusing on the stressors is more likely to increase stress in the client's life. However, pets, music, journaling feelings, and healthy relationships have all been shown to decrease amounts of stress.
