Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Genetics is a risk factor for mental illnessnot an absolute cause. The father correctly states in options 2, 3, and 4 that other factors can be protective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Tertiary prevention reduces the residual effects of the disorder. There is no quaternary level of prevention. Primary prevention reduces occurrences of mental disorders, and secondary preven-tion reduces the prevalence of disorders.
