,B) sing to her husband as they sit facing one another
C) hold her husband's hands and move in time to the music
D) sit silently next to her husband while they listen to the music ✔✔C) Having the wife hold her

A 52-year old woman hospitalized for ovarian cancer requests music therapy to help her relax
and sleep. During the initial session conducted at bedtime, the client shares her fears and life
story before the use of any music intervention. After validating the client's feelings, the BEST
direction for the music therapist to take is to:
A) discuss favorite songs important to the client's life
B) improvise soft guitar music to help the client go to sleep
C) compose a song together reflecting the client's disclosure
D) close the session and bring the client's favorite music to follow-up visits ✔✔B) Once the
client has discussed her fears and shared her story, she may be more ready for sleep. Introducing
soft guitar music at this point would be germane to accomplishing the stated therapeutic goal.
A music therapist has been jointly treating a client with vascular dementia and the client's
daughter, once a week for one hour. Recently the client has become more withdrawn, presenting
,with a reduced emotional response and increased passivity. Despite changes, the daughter
continues to encourage the client to be active and engaged, yet the client is agitated and
combative. Which of the following is the music therapist's best response?
A) continue treatment using the music to address agitation and combativeness
B) discontinue treatment as the client's passivity will increase with disease progression
C) remove the daughter from the music therapy session immediately
D) Re-evaluate the session length and interventions ✔✔D) When working with clients who have
vascular dementia, re-evaluation of treatment length and frequency; as well as type of
interventions is an important aspect of care due to the often sudden onset of symptoms and
continues loss of functioning. While music therapy can be beneficial, music can also be
overstimulating, possibly causing distress.

, A 7-year old girl with severe developmental disability is receiving music therapy in a residential
setting. She is nonverbal and prone to be fearful and anxious in new situations. When brought
into the therapy room for her first session, she actively resists and begins to cry. The music
therapist, working in an improvisational model, might do which of the following?
1) meet the child by playing music to express the intensity of her crying
2) reflect the child's sounds and breathing with careful musical phrasing
3) comfort the child by holding and rocking her while singing soothing lyrics
4) sing without words so the child hears another voice that corresponds to how she is feeling
A) 1, 2, and 3 only
B) 1, 2, and 4 only
C) 1, 3 and 4 only
D) 2, 3 and 4 only ✔✔B) It is not the goal of improvisational music therapy to necessarily
comfort and change the mood of the child, but rather to allow the child the full range of
emotional expression while supporting that expression musically.
