Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The Global Assessment Scale is a single-item rating scale for evaluating the overall functioning of a client during a specific period on a continuum from psychiatric illness to health. The Beck Depression Inventory assesses the intensity of depression in individuals between the ages of 13 and 80 years. The Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale is a comprehensive measure of self-reported symptoms and functional health status that may indicate the need for inpatient psychiatric treatment. The General Health Questionnaire is a self-administered screening instrument to detect psychiatric disorders in community settings and nonpsychiatric clinical settings.
