Question 1

The pre-intervention preparation process typically includes all of the following EXCEPT:

Use 'I' statements to describe specific observed behaviors and their impact

Effective intervention letters use first-person statements describing specific observed behaviors and their emotional impact, avoiding judgment or blame.

Scheduling when the client is most likely sober and before daily routines begin maximizes the chance of meaningful engagement.
