Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The Social Security Act was the first major piece of legislation to influence mental health services in the United States. This act was created in response to economic and social problems of the era and shifted the responsibility of care for ill people from the state to the federal government. The National Mental Health Act included the objectives of development of education and research programs for community mental health treatment approaches. The Mental Health Study Act promoted the study of national mental health needs. The Protection and Advocacy for Mentally Ill Individuals Act promoted the development of advocacy programs for mentally ill persons.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Many clients with mental disorders were institutionalized because of a continued fear of people with mental disorders. These clients were essentially separated from the community and isolated from their families. This institutionalizatio n combined with minimal information about cause, cure, and care, resulted in overcrowded conditions and exploitation of clients.
