Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Clients' religious beliefs, which are part of their culture, often do influence their views of mental health care and mental illness. The other options are not always true.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The eclectic approach is an individualized style that incorporates the client's own resources as a unique person with the most suitable theoretical model. The emphasis in this approach is on the uniqueness of clients and nurses. This does not, however, necessitate ignoring or discarding theories or frameworks.
