Answer to Question 1

C
When cognitive ability diminishes in the evening, the pattern is called sundown syndrome. Diminished cognitive ability may result in patient disorientation and agitation.

Answer to Question 2

A
The initial barrier to a patient seeking mental health treatment is insufficient or nonexistent health care insurance coverage for the treatment of mental illness. While the other options are factors that have a positive effect on mental health care delivery, they become relevant only after a patient seeks and/or begins treatment.
