Answer to Question 1

A
The only conclusion that can be drawn based on the assessment data is that the patient currently has low readiness to function in the community.

Answer to Question 2

B
Partial hospitalization provides a highly structured and organized treatment plan that is comprehensive and individualized for its patients. Treatment plans include group therapy; education for patient and family members regarding, among other topics, stress management; and other treatments to promote continuing stabilization and intermediate-term treatment.
