A leader begins the discussion at the first meeting of a new group. Which comment should be included?
a. "It is important for everyone to arrive on time for our group."
b. "Talking to family members about our group will help us achieve our goals."
c. "Everyone is expected to share a personal experience at each group meeting."
d. "Groups provide more cost-effective treatment in this time of budget constraints."
A
The leader must set ground rules for the group before members can effectively participate. Arriving on time is important to the group process. Talking to family members would jeopardize confidentiality. Although groups are cost-effective, blaming the budget would not help members feel valued. Setting an expectation to share may be intimidating for a withdrawn patient.
