Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

The neural structures that constitute the limbic system are primarily responsible for the regulation of emotion. Clinical studies have suggested that this area of the brain is important for mood states and has extensive connections with the limbic system. The occipital lobe interprets visual information, while language is the domain of the Wernicke area. The parietal lobe processes sensory input.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Behavioral therapies may be beneficial in the treatment of insomnia. Sleep hygiene establishing a regular wake-up time to help set the circadian clock and regularity of sleep onset are encouraged. Drugs may be of use in the short term and should be used judiciously rather than completely avoiding them. The efficacy of melatonin is unproven, and his insomnia would likely be categorized as secondary insomnia, given the obvious contribution of stressors.
