selected answer: c
response/rationale:
what one society may view as acceptable and appropriate behavior, another society may
see that as maladaptive, and inappropriate. mental health and mental illness are difficult
to define precisely. in most cases, mental health is a state of emotional, psychological,
and social wellness evidenced by satisfying interpersonal relationships, effective
behavior and coping, positive self-concept, and emotional stability. persons who engage
in fantasies may be mentally healthy, but the inability to distinguish reality from fantasy
is an individual factor that may contribute to mental illness.

experienced.î

death?î

selected answer: b
response/rationale:
mental illness includes general dissatisfaction with self, ineffective relationships,
ineffective coping, and lack of personal growth. additionally the behavior must not be
culturally expected. acute grief reactions are expected and therefore not considered
mental illness. false reassurance or overanalysis does not accurately address the client's
concerns.
