Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The student is exhibiting prejudice in this situation. Prejudice is described as feelings of intolerance about persons who are hospitalized in psychiatric-mental health care facilities. Introvert and extrovert are types of personality traits. The student is not being open-minded regarding this client.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Research suggests that individuals labeled mentally ill, regardless of the specific psychiatric diagnosis or level of disability, are stigmatized or disgraced more severely than those with other health conditions. Furthermore, some studies suggest that individuals with psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, are judged more harshly than people with depression or anxiety disorders.
