- A.
  
  Slightly anxious
- B.
  
  Highly anxious
- C.
  
  Calm
- D.
  
  Depressed
Correct Answer
A. Slightly anxious

Explanation
Clients who are slightly anxious are more likely to be receptive to change in psychotherapy because they are already aware of their anxiety and are motivated to address it. Their level of anxiety may be manageable, allowing them to engage in the therapeutic process and be open to exploring new ways of thinking and behaving. Highly anxious clients may be too overwhelmed to fully engage in therapy, while calm clients may not feel the need for change. Depressed clients may lack the energy and motivation to actively participate in therapy.

The correct answer is Preaffiliation, Power and Control, Intimacy, Differentiation, Separation. This order suggests that the first stage is preaffiliation, where group members come together and establish initial connections. Next is the power and control stage, where members establish roles and hierarchies within the group. After that is the intimacy stage, where trust and close relationships are developed. Following that is the differentiation stage, where individual identities within the group become more distinct.

- A.
  
  Record no more than is essential to the functions of the agency
- B.
  
  Omit details of clients' intimate lives from case records
- C.

- D.
  
  Employ private and soundproof dictation facilities
Correct Answer
C. Include verbatim or process recordings in case files

Explanation
Including verbatim or process recordings in case files is not an example of ethical note keeping because it violates the principle of confidentiality. Verbatim or process recordings may contain sensitive information that should not be included in case files to protect the privacy and confidentiality of clients. Ethical note keeping involves recording only essential information for the agency's functions and omitting intimate details of clients' lives from case records. Employing private and soundproof dictation facilities can also ensure the privacy and confidentiality of client information.
