Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Racial and ethnic differences play a significant role in the family's response to mentally ill members. Some cultural groups are protective of the ill individual, whereas others soon be-come exhausted and emotionally drained with the care, dependency needs, and symptoms of the ill person. The family's continued involvement in the patient's care is the most positive example of continued support. The other options are positive but lack the element of long-term active involvement with the patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Case management facilitates and promotes the coordination of patient care, thereby minimiz-ing the fragmentation of treatment which is a major factor in the relapsing of the patient's symptomology. The other options are roles of the case manager but they lack the attention to the basic concept of integrated, focused, and supervised care of the patient.
