Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
OBRA of 1987 stated that an LTC care facility must not admit, on or after January 1, 1989, any new resident needing active treatment for mental illness or mental retardation. A screening document called the Preadmission Screening and Annual Resident Review (PSARR) determines whether the client needs active psychiatric treatment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Competence involves the ability of the client to understand and make decisions based on information given.
