Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
The review of systems is a structured series of interview questions that encourage clients to report system-specific symptoms that may be connected to their mental health and physical well-being. Potential neurological symptoms would be included in such an assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The mental status examination is a central aspect of the psychiatric assessment process that assesses current cognitive and affective functioning through data collection on appearance, behavior, level of consciousness, speech, thought content and processes, cognitive ability, mood and affect, insight, and judgment. This assessment relies almost exclusively on observation rather than inquiry and is expected to change during treatment.
