Answer to Question 1

A
According to structure-activity relationship, two chemically and structurally similar drugs will most likely produce similar effects. However, in some cases one may have fewer or different side effects, or be more or less effective than another. As a result of this, a larger number of psychotropic medications have been produced that are structurally and chemically similar, but have differing side effects and effectiveness among clients.

Answer to Question 2

A
Clinicians may intentionally or inadvertently precipitate an outbreak of violence because staff attitudes and actions have a powerful effect on patient behavior. Inexperienced staff members, provocation by staff, poor milieu management, understaffing, close physical encounters, inconsistent limit setting, and a norm of violence all may negatively affect the inpatient environment.
