Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 3, 4
Explanation: The DSM-5 includes a cultural formulation interview, directions for use of the manual, and suggestions for future research. Guidelines for forming a multi-axial diagnosis and a global assessment functioning scale were included in prior editions of the manual.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: The DSM-III provided a psychiatric classification system using a multiaxial approach that has recently been replaced. The DSM-5 is the official manual approved by the APA and the NIMH for use by all clinicians to diagnose psychiatric and mental health disorders in patients. The ICD-9 provides a set of codes for classifying diseases, injuries, health encounters and inpatient procedures. The WHO Disability Schedule is a generic assessment instrument for health and disability.
