Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Mental health is fostered by maintaining involvement in personally satisfying activities. It would be inappropriate to recommend either maximizing social time or minimizing time alone for each and every resident, irrespective of personal preferences. It would be inaccurate to recommend antidepressants with every negative change in mood.
