Answer to Question 1

A
Asian Americans commonly express psychological distress as a physical problem. The patient may believe psychological problems are caused by a physical imbalance. Treatment will likely be short. The patient will probably respond best to a therapist who is perceived as giving. Asian Americans usually have strong family ties and value hope more than truth.

Answer to Question 2

A
The correct response indicates the patient is functioning at an optimal level, using appropriate behavior, and thinking without overstimulation. The distracters show manic behavior.
