Answer to Question 1

The correct order is 2, 3, 1
Rationale: The premise of the model of public health is based largely on the concepts set forth by Gerald Caplan (1964) during the initial community mental health movement. They include primary prevention, secondary prevention, and tertiary prevention.
1. Primary prevention is aimed at reducing the incidence of mental disorders within the population.
2. Secondary prevention is aimed at minimizing early symptoms of psychiatric illness and directed toward reducing the prevalence and duration of the illness.
3. Tertiary prevention is aimed at providing services that reduce the residual defects that are associated with severe and persistent mental illness.

Answer to Question 2

B
Each client is a unique individual; therefore, even if clients share the same diagnosis, the experiences are unique.
