Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
There are two universal truths that require nurses to have specialized knowledge and skills in this area: services for people with mental disorders are inadequate in all countries, and mental illness has a major impact on families, communities, and nations. The effects of mental health are varia-ble. Mental health disorders can affect all populations. Nursing plays a major role in meeting the current health objectives for mental health disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
During the hospital expansion era, most psychiatric institutions were located in rural areas re-moved from family and social activities. Clients were essentially separated from the community and isolated from their families. Many were institutionalized for the rest of their lives.
