Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Identify one's specific fears and apprehensions around providing care in the psychiatric setting that can foster the self-awareness that is necessary to provide good care. Expressing resentment for the rotation will benefit neither the student nor the clients she cares for. Fears of catching mental illness or worrying about what to do with clients who are unlikely to recover are concerns that need to be addressed, but neither question promotes self-awareness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Psychiatric clients are often stereotyped or categorized by the public as being poor, violent, confused, or unable to care for themselves.
