Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Alcohol abuse and depression are common comorbidities with PTSD. Cognitive deficits, including memory problems, may accompany traumatic brain injury, so all three of these screens would be relevant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One aspect of military culture is advancing the idea that the military mission takes precedence over other concerns, which could be perceived to include family and marital relationships.
