Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Individuals with mental disorders have an illness characterized by structural, biochemical, and mental symptoms that can be diagnosed, classified, and labeled. Accurate assessment and diagnosis are required for treatment. The nurse who links environmental cause to symptoms in an initial meeting is not demonstrating knowledge of psychobiologic principles. The course and prognosis of a mental illness must be determined after an accurate diagnosis is made. Psychobiologic explanations of mental disorders often decrease the stigma associated with them.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale: Passive progressive relaxation. The goal is to focus on relaxing the muscles without tightening them first. Focusing on relaxing the entire body has the potential to elicit the relaxation response. At the least, it is a distraction technique that can interrupt the stress response.
