Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Rationale: Option A: Family influence is considered a psychosocial factor affecting a client's mental
health. A hostile, overinvolved family is critical of the client and contributes to low self-esteem.
Option B: This example would be considered a genetic factor that influences the individual's risk for
mental disorder, not a psychosocial factor. Option C: Religious influences are considered
psychosocial in nature. Option D: Life experiences, especially crises and losses, are considered
psychosocial influences on mental health. Option 5: Treatment with a biological agent such as
antidepressant medication is an example of a biological influence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 5
five
Rationale: An estimated 21.1 of Americans aged 18 years and older have a diagnosable mental
disorder each year. This statistic is roughly equivalent to 1 in 5 adults.
