Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The vulnerability model of dual diagnosis posits that substance use precipitates a mental health disorder. An example of this cause and effect relationship would be the development of alcohol-induced encephalopathy after a history of heavy alcohol use. The self-medication hypothesis is a counterpoint in which substance use is a response to mental illness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Axis III disorders include cirrhosis of the liver, peptic ulcer disease, and cardiovascular disease. Axis II includes personality disorders and mental retardation. Depression is included in Axis I disorders.
