Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An individual viewed physical and mental illness as interrelated, resulting from physical condi-tions during the Greco-Roman era. During the ancient times, Middle Ages, and colonial times, mental illness was viewed as resulting from supernatural forces.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
Creating a caring and understanding atmosphere, using neutral words to elicit symptoms, and paying attention to what the teen verbalizes and fails to verbalize are appropriate therapeutic ap-proaches. The nurse can offer more appropriate terms for the client to use once trust is estab-lished. The nurse should listen to the teen first before referring the client to someone else.
