Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The medical diagnosis is concerned with the client's disease state, causes, and cures, whereas the
nursing diagnosis focuses on the client's response to stress and possible caring interventions.
Options A and B are not true statements. Both consider culture. Option C: The DSM-IV-TR is
multiaxial. Nursing diagnoses also consider potential problems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The question calls for an answer relating to the prevalence of mental illness. Only options B and C
address this, and option B is untrue.
