Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The goal of maintenance in chronic mental illness is to maintain the client's level of function and to prevent frequent hospitalizations. Even though the other answers may be goals that could be included on a care plan, the goal of maintaining function and preventing frequent hospitalizations are priorities and therefore the best answer.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: 2. The intent of psychotherapy is to develop an understanding of one's problems and ways of dealing with them. The intent of psychotherapy is not to control behavior but to understand and deal with one's problems. The intent of psychotherapy is not to promote medication compliance. Psychotherapy's intent is not to promote normal behaviors but is to help individuals or groups develop an understanding of problems and find ways to deal with them.
