Question 1
Match three concerns to their most directly relevant areas: (1) Biopsychology; (2) Sociological
relationship between the family unit and wider society; (3) Analytical importance of interpersonal
dynamics in care environments. Which ordering is correct?
A. Healthcare Communication / Family and Social Structures / Psychology Foundations and
Applications
B. Psychology Foundations and Applications / Family and Social Structures / Healthcare
Communication
C. Family and Social Structures / Psychology Foundations and Applications / Healthcare
Communication
D. Psychology Foundations and Applications / Healthcare Communication / Family and Social
Structures
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Psychology Foundations and Applications includes biopsychology. Family and Social Structures includes
sociological relationship between the family unit and wider society. Healthcare Communication includes
analytical importance of interpersonal dynamics in care environments. A: The first and third
associations are reversed; they should be Psychology Foundations and Applications and Healthcare
Communication. C: The first two associations are reversed; they should be Psychology Foundations and
Applications and Family and Social Structures. D: The second and third associations are reversed; they
should be Family and Social Structures and Healthcare Communication.
Question 2
A comparison of Psychology Foundations and Applications and Architecture of mental processes
needs one representative concern for each. Which pairing gives both sides an appropriate focus?
A. Psychology Foundations and Applications: Perspectives in Psychology | Architecture of mental
processes: Analysis of differing political and social ideologies of welfare
B. Psychology Foundations and Applications: Cognitive development models and information
processing in children (e.g., Piaget, Vygotsky) | Architecture of mental processes: Real-world
applications of cognitive theories (e.g., eyewitness testimony reliability, cognitive therapies)
C. Psychology Foundations and Applications: Real-world applications of cognitive theories (e.g.,
eyewitness testimony reliability, cognitive therapies) | Architecture of mental processes:
Perspectives in Psychology
D. Psychology Foundations and Applications: Perspectives in Psychology | Architecture of mental
processes: Real-world applications of cognitive theories (e.g., eyewitness testimony reliability,
cognitive therapies)
Correct Answer: D
Full Explanation:
Psychology Foundations and Applications includes perspectives in Psychology. Architecture of mental
processes includes real-world applications of cognitive theories (e.g., eyewitness testimony reliability,
cognitive therapies). A: The second concern is drawn from Historical development of the British Welfare
State (from the Beveridge Report onward), not Architecture of mental processes. B: The first concern is
drawn from Developmental Psychology, not Psychology Foundations and Applications. C: This reverses
the associations: the first concern fits Psychology Foundations and Applications, and the second fits
Architecture of mental processes.

Question 3
Which proposed activity applies the Professionalism and Multidisciplinary Teams focus more
directly than the competing focuses Healthcare Communication, Learning Disabilities, and Care
and the Older Person?

B. Examine analysis of multidisciplinary team working for safe, coordinated care delivery
C. Examine analytical importance of interpersonal dynamics in care environments
D. Examine definitions, legislative frameworks, social inclusion, and person-centered care models
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Professionalism and Multidisciplinary Teams includes analysis of multidisciplinary team working for
safe, coordinated care delivery. A: Care and the Older Person includes demographic shifts,
physiological/social aging, and long-term care models. C: Healthcare Communication includes
analytical importance of interpersonal dynamics in care environments. D: Learning Disabilities includes
definitions, legislative frameworks, social inclusion, and person-centered care models.
Question 4
Case Alpha addresses Application of consistent academic referencing conventions and academic
integrity; Case Beta addresses Comparative analysis of assumptions, strengths, and limitations
across alternative perspectives. Which summary correctly identifies their distinct subject areas?
A. Alpha concerns Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic; Beta concerns
Academic Writing Skills.
B. Alpha concerns Academic Writing Skills; Beta concerns Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological,
Psychodynamic, and Humanistic.
C. Alpha concerns Family and Social Structures; Beta concerns Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological,
Psychodynamic, and Humanistic.
D. Alpha concerns Academic Writing Skills; Beta concerns Professionalism and Multidisciplinary
Teams.
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Academic Writing Skills includes application of consistent academic referencing conventions and
academic integrity. Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic includes
comparative analysis of assumptions, strengths, and limitations across alternative perspectives. A: This
reverses the associations: the first concern fits Academic Writing Skills, and the second fits
Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic. C: Alpha is most directly
associated with Academic Writing Skills, not Family and Social Structures. D: Beta is most directly
associated with Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic, not

Question 5
A response addresses Planning, structuring, and presenting written assignments for specific
audiences and academic purposes under Academic Writing Skills. It now needs to address
Demographic shifts, physiological/social aging, and long-term care models. Which additional focus
most directly fills that remaining gap?
A. Social Issues and Welfare Policy
B. Care and the Older Person
C. Academic Writing Skills
D. Psychology Foundations and Applications
Correct Answer: B
Full Explanation:
Academic Writing Skills includes planning, structuring, and presenting written assignments for specific
audiences and academic purposes. Care and the Older Person includes demographic shifts,
physiological/social aging, and long-term care models. A: Social Issues and Welfare Policy concerns
understanding the Welfare State, rather than being the closest match for the concern in the question.
C: Academic Writing Skills addresses the first concern, which is already covered. D: Psychology
Foundations and Applications concerns perspectives in Psychology, rather than being the closest match
for the concern in the question.
Question 6
Which proposed activity applies the Psychology Foundations and Applications focus more directly
than the competing focuses Behaviourist, Cognitive, Biological, Psychodynamic, and Humanistic,
Professionalism and Multidisciplinary Teams, and Family and Social Structures?
A. Examine comparative analysis of assumptions, strengths, and limitations across alternative
perspectives
B. Examine evolution and regulation of professional roles within healthcare
C. Examine role relationships, division of domestic labor, and power dynamics within families
D. Examine perspectives in Psychology
Correct Answer: D
