Answer to Question 1

D
Only option D focuses on situational support. Options A, B, and C focus on the client's perception
of the precipitating event.

Answer to Question 2

B
The case manager not only provides entrance into the system of care, he or she can coordinate the
multiple referrals that so often confuse the severely and persistently mentally ill client and the
client's family. Case management promotes efficient use of services. The other options are lesser
advantages or may be irrelevant.
