6. 3 Self-help groups are successful because they support a basic human

need for
acceptance. A feeling of comfort and safety and a sense of belonging may
be achieved in
a nonjudgmental, supportive, sharing experience with others.
1, 2 AA may not meet this need. 4 AA meets dependency needs rather than
focusing on
independence.

8. 4 A workshop provides an opportunity to discuss cultural diversity;
this should
include identification of one’s own feelings; also, it provides an
opportunity for
participants to ask questions.
1 Although this will provide information, it does not promote a discussion
about the
topic. 2 This is not feasible or desirable; clients from other cultures are found
in all
settings. 3 This probably will increase tension on the unit.

10. 4 Understanding the disorder and the details of care are essential for
the client to be
self-sufficient.
1 Although this is important, a perceived understanding of the need for
specific
interventions must be expressed before there is a readiness for learning. 2
This is
premature; this may be done eventually. 3 Although this is important,
involving the
college should be the client’s decision.
