Answer to Question 1

A
The rules of the health care system often seem like added measures of oppression to African Americans, who respond with behavior designed to fend off feelings of powerlessness and vulnerability. The other options have no bearing on the situation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although the other options do address some of these aspects, holistic more accurately describes these six aspects of an individual's life. The psychiatric assessment tool specifically addresses the problems that are being experienced, coping mechanisms, and resources of the client.
