Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Primary prevention refers to the reduction of health risks, thus stress reduction education is the correct response. Group psychotherapy and case management are secondary prevention strate-gies, and monitoring illness symptoms is a tertiary prevention strategy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Insufficient community mental health services were available in the community. Families were not prepared for treatment responsibilities. There were no education and support programs for families. Staff in nursing homes lacked skills to treat people with mental disorders, and clients had little or no supervision in independent settings. There were not enough resources in the community, so the primary problem was the lack of resources not connecting with them. The lack of affordable housing or increased costs of care were not reasons this population had difficulties living in the community.
