Answer to Question 1

Partial (day) hospitalization programs (PHPs) are an alternative for those who continue to need some supervision but are not appropriate clients for long-term admission. PHPs provide activities and therapy sessions (group and individual) for 6 to 8 hours per day. Clients then return to their primary residence or workplace.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Psychiatric specialty units treat clients with specific circumstances, symptoms, or diagnoses, such as older adults, pediatric populations, dementia care, substance abuse/dependency, eating disorders, and intensive care for adults.
