It can make them less physically attractive
- B.
They can be prompted by other into making hasty decisions
- C.

Correct Answer
B. They can be prompted by other into making hasty decisionsExplanation
Anxiety can have a negative effect on a person by making them susceptible to being prompted by others into making hasty decisions. When someone is anxious, they may feel overwhelmed or unsure of themselves, leading them to rely on the opinions or suggestions of others. This can result in impulsive choices that may not be well thought out or in their best interest. Anxiety can impair one's ability to think clearly and independently, making them more vulnerable to external influence and potentially regrettable decisions.Rate this question:

Movement through the stages is not uni-directional, and clients may pass back and forth through stages.

This flexibility allows for adjustments, revisiting previous stages, or exploring different options, ensuring a more dynamic and adaptable approach to the process.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)

E. Develop discrepancyExplanation
The counsellor should avoid arguing because arguing can escalate the situation and hinder effective communication. Expressing empathy is important as it helps the client feel understood and supported.

Establishing control, maintaining eye contact, and recording all proceedings are not mentioned as necessary actions for the counsellor in this context.Rate this question:

The counsellor should never use extremes, as this will frighten the client.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement suggests that the counsellor should use extremes, which is not true. Using extremes can be detrimental to the client as it may cause fear and anxiety.

Using extremes can hinder the therapeutic process and potentially harm the client's well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is false.Rate this question:
