Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
Family influence is considered a psychosocial factor affecting a patient's mental health. A hostile under- or overinvolved family is critical of the patient and contributes to low self-esteem. Religious influences are considered psychosocial in nature. Life experiences, especially crises and losses, are considered psychosocial influences on mental health. Having two first-degree relatives with bipolar disorder would be considered a factor that influences the individual's risk for mental disorder, but it is a genetic, not psychosocial, factor. Treatment with a biological agent such as an antidepressant medication is an example of a biological influence.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The DSM-IV-TR identifies diagnostic criteria for psychiatric diagnoses. The other sources have useful information but are not the best resources for finding a description of the diagnostic criteria for a psychiatric disorder.
