Answer to Question 1

C
Adolph Meyer recommended clinics for those who were mentally ill. Meyer's efforts marked the beginning of the movement for mental health care to return to the community, instead of being isolated away from the mentally ill individual's families and friends.

Answer to Question 2

C
John has the highest risk of suicide. He has at least four of the high-risk suicide indicators. He is young with a diagnosis of conduct disorder. Since he was arrested for possession and use, there is a high probability that he was under the influence of cocaine when he entered the jail. The possession charge leads to the strong likelihood that he has a history of substance abuse. He is in a county jail, which has a higher turnover rate than a state or federal prison.
