Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The student states she's happy. Her self-concept is adequate. She is reality oriented, effective in her
work, and has control over her behavior. Option A would be appropriate for an individual with
severe impairment of functioning. Option B would be appropriate for an individual with moderate
impairment of functioning. Option C would be appropriate for an individual with mild impairment of
functioning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The use of five axes requires assessment beyond diagnosis of a mental disorder and includes
relevant medical conditions, psychosocial and environmental problems, and global assessment of
functioning. Option A: The DSM-IV-TR does not include a treatment plan. Option B: Nursing
diagnoses are not included. Option D: The DSM-IV-TR does not use a specific biopsychosocial
theory.
