psychological domain when involved with which of the following?
A. Behavior therapy
B. Family support
C. Nutritional therapy
D. Sleep hygiene measures
Answer:
A. Behavior therapy

behaviors, making behavior therapy a direct application. Family support relates more
to social aspects, nutritional therapy to biological, and sleep hygiene, while
important, is more biologic or behavioral but not specifically psychological therapy.

health records in psychiatric-mental health care?

C. Decreasing fragmented care
D. Defining professional standards more clearly

and professional standards are important, confidentiality is a primary concern with
electronic data.
