Answer to Question 1

A
Wealthy citizens, as well as those with private insurance, are more likely to receive mental health care in Australia because they are better able to afford the care than are homeless, disabled, or low-income citizens on the basic health plan with no mental health care coverage.

Answer to Question 2

C
These are signs of symptoms of moderate lithium toxicity, with blood serum levels of 1.5 to 2.5 mEq/L. Additional signs and symptoms of moderate toxicity include ringing in the ears, irregular tremors, and frank muscle twitching. Insignificant is not a level of toxicity. Mild and severe levels of toxicity have signs and symptoms different from those of moderate toxicity.
