Chapter 32: Care of Veterans with Mental Health Needs Terms in this set (20) The mental health needs of military service members and veterans differ according to their branch and terms of service. This is best explained by which observation? A) Service members who do not deploy overseas are not impacted. B) Some military service branches are disproportionately affected. C) Each branch is equally trained and skilled to defend our country. D) Reserve and National Guard service members can earn immunity. Ans: C Feedback: All active duty, reserve, and national guard service branches are equally qualified and prepared to serve to defend our nation where and when the needs arise. Accordingly, each branch is also impacted by the need for mental health evaluation and treatment. Additionally, being deployed overseas, or being assigned or excluded, from any specific military job or assignment is not a protective mechanism to maintain good mental health. While there are mechanisms available to apply for special dispensation immunity not to deploy, such cases are quite arduous, specific, and highly individualized. Because of the unique and highly specialized U.S. military training, few service members want to avail themselves of this option unless it is an urgent or terminal family matter.
