Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Rationale: The success of discharge planning requires careful attention to the client's economic
status. Access to housing is the first priority of the seriously mentally ill, and lack of income and
health insurance are barriers to effective treatment and rehabilitation. Option D: Although an
important aspect of ongoing care of the seriously mentally ill client, this option is not classified as an
economic factor.

Answer to Question 2

D
This response is emotionally honest. It will allow both husband and wife the opportunity to express
emotions and further resolve issues in the relationship and explore end-of-life developmental
opportunities for the wife. The other options are evasive.
