Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
It is important that a client's mental health benefits be reviewed prior to discharge from an acute care facility to avoid denial of benefits for additional services such as continuum of care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Individuals may receive psychiatric care in a long-term care setting unless they require specialized services such as substance abuse counseling, electroshock therapy, or intense individual or group psychotherapy. A lack of family support is not an admission criterion for long-term care.
