Answer to Question 1

A
When barriers have been identified, particular strategies can be incorporated into the teaching plan to help the patient retain and use the information. As with any learner, but especially for the cognitively impaired patient, repeating the information, presenting information in ways that engage multiple sensory avenues, and providing opportunities for practice and feedback promote learning for psychiatric patients.

Answer to Question 2

D
Consumer-run psychosocial programs offer various levels of service, from drop-in socialization centers to a full range of rehabilitative services. The patient will be able to become involved in meaningful social and vocational activities.
