Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Assertive community treatment (ACT) involves consumers working with a multidisciplinary team that provides a comprehensive array of services. At least one member of the team is available 24 hours a day for crisis needs, and the emphasis is on treating the patient within his own environment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient's nonadherence is most closely related to lack of insight into his illness. The patient believes he is an exalted personage who hears God's voice rather than an individual with a serious mental disorder who needs medication to control his symptoms. While the distracters may play a part in the patient's nonadherence, the correct response is most likely.
