Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Most current mental health treatment modalities have evolved from a Western mindset with emphasis on technology and distancing. This is usually incompatible with the traditional beliefs of many cultures that may prioritize holism and psychosocial factors. Treatment is not noted to be more successful from a Western approach.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
A religious or cultural ritual is a plausible explanation for this change in the employee's behavior since she previously ate with her peers. Offering an alternative location for eating lunch does not uncover the rationale for the woman's change in behavior. It would not normally be appropriate to ask the husband for an explanation prior to asking the employee herself.
