Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The educator role is foundational to health maintenance, health promotion, and community ac-tion. Using learning principles to increase understanding in the community about mental illness is a role of the educator. Caring for clients in acute care settings is the role of clinician. Coordinat-ing activities with staff members in community settings is the role of coordinator. Acting as an advocate for mental health support groups is the role of an advocate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tertiary prevention efforts attempt to restore and enhance functioning, thus coordination of tran-sition from the hospital to the community is tertiary prevention. Screening and counseling are secondary prevention activities, and depression education is a primary prevention activity.
