Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
In recovery-oriented care, the person with a mental health problem develops a partnership with a clinician to manage the illness, strengthen coping abilities, and build resilience for life's challenges. Being involved in decision making helps the patient transition from a dependent-driven relationship to a collaborative recovery-oriented one. Self-direction is reflected as individuals define their own goals and design a path to meet those goals. Individualized and person-centered recovery is reflected by the individual's use of his or her own unique strengths and resilience as well as needs, preferences, experiences, and cultural background. Holistic involves the whole life of the individualmind, body, spirit, and community.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Unlike many medical disorders, mental disorders are defined by clusters of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings, not underlying biological pathology. The alterations in thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are unexpected and outside normal, culturally defined limits. Laboratory tests are not used in diagnosing mental disorders.
