Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
A genogram typically includes three generations and includes the patient. Thus a great-grandparent may not necessarily be included in a genogram for an adult patient. The genogram includes first-degree relatives, such as parents, siblings, and children, as well as second-degree relatives, such as aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, grandparents, and grandchildren. All family members by marriage, partnership, or adoption and step-family members also are included.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nicotine causes rapid dependence. Nicotine is a powerfully addictive substance capable of producing both tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. The widespread social acceptance of smoking has made it difficult to acknowledge that nicotine is no less an abused substance than heroin or cocaine.
