Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: A group on stress management is a psychoeducational group. Psychoeducational groups provide instruction related to a specific topic, such as medication administration or anger or stress management. A psychodynamic or psychotherapy group is led by a trained/licensed clinician or therapist and designed to help participants identify triggers, work through issues, and develop new skills. A support group is led by members motivated to seek help from their peers to improve progress or receive support related to a health or mental health issue. An activity group offers creative, low-stress opportunities for individuals to explore their emotions or gain some type of health benefit in a small group setting.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 4
Explanation: A group formed to address patient safety is a task group. Task groups address conflict and reflect on the here and now. Support groups primarily develop interpersonal skills. Psychoeducational groups increase knowledge. Psychotherapy groups practice new skills.
