Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
In self-governance, the person acts independently, dependently, or interdependently as the need arises without permanently losing his or her autonomy. Tolerance of the unknown means the person faces the uncertainty of life and the certainty of death with faith and hope. To master the environment, the person becomes competent, effective, and creative in interacting with and influencing his or her environment. Reality orientation involves differentiating fact from fantasy and behaving accordingly.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General addressed that mental health is fundamental to and necessary for a healthy life; mental disorders are real health conditions with enormous consequences for individuals, families, communities, and the nation; effective treatments for mental disorders are available; a range of treatment options is available for most mental disorders; and those with mental disorders or symptoms should seek treatment.
