Answer to Question 1

D
The DSM-IV-TR profiles psychiatric diagnoses on five axes. Each axis defines a specific aspect of the diagnosis. Axis I identifies major clinical disorders. Axis II details personality and developmental disorders. Axis III identifies general medical conditions. Axis IV details psychosocial and environmental problems. Axis V rates the Global Assessment of Functioning.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: A realistic concern in the provision of health-care services to the homeless is that individuals who are homeless relocate frequently. Frequent relocation confounds service delivery and interferes with providers' efforts to ensure appropriate care.
