Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Interpersonal means connected with others and the environment. Intrapersonal means connected within oneself. Transpersonal means connected with God or an unseen higher power. There is no such term as multipersonal for connectedness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Do not just look at the patient's anxiety as a problem to solve with quick remedies, but rather look at how the anxiety influences the patient's ability to function and achieve goals established in life (not just anxiety relief). Mobilizing the patient's hope is central to a healing relationship.
