Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: Partial hospitalization programs offer intensive daily support and are often an appropriate step down in treatment following inpatient care. This level of care is most appropriate for the patient who continues to need daily treatment following discharge. The patient can continue to receive nurse case management services throughout recovery and in conjunction with the partial hospitalization program. Assertive community treatment will be more helpful once the patient no longer needs daily support. Peer support alone would be insufficient for this patient at this time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Supported employment services are based on the principles that everyone is eligible who is interested in working. Competitive employment is the goal. Even though she may not get her original job back, the beautician has expressed a clear interest in working. The artist already has a vocation and has not stated interest in competitive employment. The student and homemaker have not expressed any interest in competitive employment.
