Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Candidates most likely to receive inpatient treatment are those who pose a risk of harm to self or others.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
MST uses alternating magnetic fields to cross the scalp and the calvarium and induce
a more localized electric current in targeted regions of the cerebral cortex than is possible with ECT. It is performed under general anesthetic and thus cannot be performed in a client's home. It is not being considered as a potential treatment for schizophrenia.
