Answer to Question 1

D, E
A type of outcome measure is related not to the patient but to the performance of the behavioral health care organization itself. One must consider the three dimensions when discussing these report cards: content, point of view, and intended audience. The remaining options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing students entering psychiatric nursing must change their major focus of treatment. The major instrument of care is the student because communication is the most important tool that the student brings to the care of people who are mentally ill. This can be seen as a change in the student's role as health care provider.
