Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 5
Explanation: Nursing research can provide information on specific nursing interventions that are most effective. Psychosocial research can provide information on factors that are important in diagnosis and treatment. Educational and historical research may provide important background information but are not necessarily relevant to psychiatric treatment outcomes. Neurobiological research provides important information on both causality and treatment options.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 2, 4
Explanation: Serious mental illnesses create significant disability in the individual's ability to achieve life goals. Serious mental illnesses include major depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. Although they can have distressing and disabling effects, adjustment disorders and social phobias do not necessarily interfere with the achievement of life goals.
