Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Psychosocial rehabilitation helps patients readjust to community living by promoting devel-opment of necessary skills. Social skills training and job skills training programs are usually available. The patient does not need the more intensive services found in a day hospital. Cognitive therapy will not offer the needed community living skills training. Assertiveness training is only a small portion of the community living skills the patient needs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The prognosis for paranoid schizophrenia is good with appropriate treatment and effective follow-up. The remaining options are not correct when considering this type of schizophrenia
