Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: In an effort to contain costs, managed mental health care has resulted in shorter, more intense psychiatric hospital stays. As a result of managed care, clients are admitted to hospitals in later stages of disease or illness, or perhaps not admitted at all. Shorter models of psychiatric services, outpatient treatment, and ambulatory care services have been effectively created to keep costs down and meet the lifestyle needs of clients and their employers.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Nardil is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) and requires the use of a low-tyramine diet, not a low glycemic diet. These diets are not the same. There is a death risk for concomitant use of a MAOI with a SSRI and/or opioid.
