Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3, 5
Explanation: At level 2 of wellness, the patient is stable but is not yet ready to focus on activities related to the future. Psychoeducational activities, such as providing medication education, are important at this stage. Mutual support groups, including the sharing of experiential knowledge and skills, play an invaluable role in recovery. Inpatient admission might be appropriate in the level 1 phase. Family members, peers, providers, faith groups, community members, and other allies form vital support networks.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: This patient presents at level 1, relapse or initial onset, with a level of wellness that is unstable and acute. In level 2, recovery, symptoms have stabilized. In level 3, rehabilitation, symptoms no longer interfere with normal activities of daily living or regular conversation. Restoration is not an identified part of the wellness model.
