Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3
Explanation: Current treatment often involves elements of treatment essential at Mt. Hope, including recreational and productive activities, frequent conversations with patients, and respectful and kind treatment. At Mt. Hope, unlike in current practice, the nursing staff was in charge of decisions about patient care. Removal from the home, no longer universally recommended, was considered part of providing a healing environment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Although there were no charts in which the Sisters recorded daily notes, or treatment plans, they did keep a log that included the name and age of each patient admitted to a facility, the diagnosis, when the patient was discharged, and the outcome of care.
