Answer to Question 1

D
Individuals who believe in culture-bound illnesses usually also believe that the cure for the illness is found in treatment by a native healer or roots doctor. The parent would not believe that any of the other options are effective.

Answer to Question 2

D
Guardians or conservators are appointed by the courts to manage the affairs of mentally ill individuals found to be incompetent and unable to manage their own affairs appropriately. A gravely disabled patient with schizophrenia would be in need of a conservator or guardian, whereas the other individuals would more likely be judged competent.
