Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Studies have shown that most patients who complete vocational rehabilitation programs are capable of some level of employment; also they demonstrate significant improvement in assertiveness and work behaviors, as well as decreased depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The case manager not only provides entrance into the system of care, but he or she also coordinates the multiple referrals that so often confuse the patient who is severely and persistently mentally ill and the patient's family. Case management promotes the efficient use of services. The other options are lesser advantages or may be irrelevant.
