Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
During deinstitutionalizat ion, federal dollars were designated for community mental health facilities; however, the enacted legislation was never funded. The effects of the other options would have been directly related to the lack of sufficient funding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The family may describe the person's behavior as odd or eccentric without realizing or being willing to admit that the family member has a psychiatric illness that needs professional help. The family generally seeks treatment for the ill member when the behavior becomes ir-rational, threatening, assaultive, or self-destructive. Although the remaining options are char-acteristic of mental illness, they are generally not sufficient to warrant a mental illness diag-nosis.
