Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The medical diagnosis is concerned with the client's disease state, causes, and cures, whereas the
nursing diagnosis focuses on the client's response to stress and possible caring interventions.
Options A and B are not true statements. Both consider culture. Option C: The DSM-IV-TR is
multiaxial. Nursing diagnoses also consider potential problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The question calls for an answer relating to the prevalence of mental illness. Only options B and C
address this, and option B is untrue.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
