Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The option beginning with a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder places a clinical disorder on Axis I, a personality disorder on Axis II, a medical problem on Axis III, a psychosocial problem on Axis IV, and global assessment of functioning (GAF) on Axis V. The other options misplace and incorrectly order the clinical data.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The use of five axes requires an assessment beyond the diagnosis of a mental disorder and includes relevant medical conditions, psychosocial and environmental problems, and global assessment of functioning. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fourth edition, text revision) (DSM-IV-TR) is not a template for treatment planning and does not use a specific biopsychosocial theory. Nursing diagnoses are not included in multiaxial diagnoses.
