Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The roots of mental illness are a combination of biologic and environmental factors; however, it is inaccurate to think that any one gene is responsible for any mental disorder. Coping skills and personality affect the onset and course of mental illnesses but these factors are not solely, or even primarily, responsible for their etiology.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Through the therapeutic use of self, via therapeutic relationships and communication, nurses help people adapt, change, and grow. Medications and education will influence and enhance growth, but the therapeutic use of self is the nurse's primary tool. Self-help groups do not involve health care professionals.
