  1. A BHP is reviewing a client's treatment plan at the 30-day mark. The client has not met any goals. The most appropriate action is to:

    Answer: Reassess barriers and revise goals collaboratively with the client

    When goals are not met, the clinician should reassess barriers to progress and revise the plan collaboratively to ensure it remains relevant and achievable.

  2. Which of the following is an evidence-based intervention specifically developed for borderline personality disorder?

    Answer: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was developed by Marsha Linehan specifically to treat borderline personality disorder and focuses on distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

  3. When developing a treatment plan for a client from a collectivist cultural background, a BHP should:

    Answer: Incorporate family and community roles into treatment goals when appropriate

    Culturally competent treatment planning for clients from collectivist backgrounds should acknowledge and incorporate family and community dynamics into goals.

  4. Which of the following best describes the role of psychoeducation in a behavioral health treatment plan?

    Answer: Teaching clients about their diagnosis, symptoms, and coping strategies to enhance self-management

    Psychoeducation equips clients with knowledge about their condition and evidence-based coping strategies, improving engagement and self-management.

  5. A client with PTSD is being treated using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). A core component of CPT involves:

    Answer: Identifying and challenging 'stuck points' — distorted cognitions about the trauma

    CPT targets 'stuck points,' which are maladaptive beliefs about the trauma and its aftermath, and helps clients develop more balanced thinking.

  6. A BHP sets a short-term goal: 'Client will report using a coping skill during urges to self-harm at least 3 times per week by session 6.' This goal is best categorized as:

    Answer: Measurable, behavioral, and time-bound

    This goal includes a specific behavior (using a coping skill), a frequency (3 times per week), and a timeline (by session 6), meeting SMART criteria.

  7. Which stage of change in the Transtheoretical Model describes a client who has been consistently using new behaviors for more than six months?

    Answer: Maintenance

    The Maintenance stage begins after six months of sustained behavior change, during which the client works to prevent relapse.
