Answer to Question 1

C
The model of care that best delivers the client's mental health care would most likely be the intermittent hospitalization model. The client's auditory and visual hallucinations are resistant to medication, and he shows no desire for treatment of his substance abuse. It is likely that the client, because he is frequently in a crisis situation, will require intermittent hospitalizations.
