Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, F
Mentally ill persons are more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators of criminal acts. They are often victims of criminal behavior, including sexual crimes, at a higher rate than nonmentally ill persons. When a mentally ill person does commit a crime, it is usually nonviolent. Mental illnesses interfere with employment and are associated with poverty status, limiting SMI persons to living in inexpensive areas that also tend to be higher-crime areas. SMI persons may inadvertently provoke others because of poor judgment or socially inappropriate behavior, or they may be victimized because they are perceived as passive, less likely to resist, and less likely to be believed as witnesses.

Answer to Question 2

C
Allopathic practitioners use medical and surgical methods to treat disease and injury. The other therapies are CAM agents.
