Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Ideologies are shared values, norms, or beliefs that bind groups together and help them make sense of the world.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The stigmatization of the mentally ill is well established. It is important both personally and as a part of their professional advocacy role for nurses to fight this stigma. To improve negative attitudes among the general public, nurses need to identify the myths underpinning them and improve both their own and the public's mental health literacy.
