Answer to Question 1

D
The commission did not make any recommendations for shifting the focus of mental health services to allow acceptance of long-term mental illness disabilities. The purpose of the commission was to recommend ways to increase access to mental health care and improve the quality of public mental health programs.

Answer to Question 2

B
The best action for the nurse to take at this time is to ask the family members what behaviors they need to perform after a death. This would demonstrate that the nurse is sensitive to the family's cultural practices and rituals.
