Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The prevalence for schizophrenia is 1.1 per year. The prevalence of all affective disorders
(depression, dysthymia, bipolar) is 9.5, and the prevalence of substance abuse is 11.3. Option A
does not provide an answer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A holistic focus requires the nurse to be aware of the entire client, thus allowing more
comprehensive and appropriate interventions.
