Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The intake physician would use axis IV to note psychosocial and environmental problems pertinent
to the client's situation, providing another source of information for the nurse. Option A: Persistent
questioning will likely result in client withdrawal. Option B violates client privacy rights. Option C
is not an effective solution.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Providing information about treatment efficacy is a concrete way to refute the myth that clients with
mental disorders are untreatable. Option A does not provide information to refute the myth. Option
B gives general information, whereas option C is more specific. Option D provides general
information, some of which is discouraging.
