Answer to Question 1

C
Gene therapy is still an experimental field. It holds potential for treating or even curing genetic and acquired diseases such as cancer or AIDS, but it is not likely to be clinically applicable in psychiatry in the near future.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Future of Nursing by Lucille Brown, director of the Department of Studies in the Professions at Russell Sage Foundation, was the result of work to integrate mental health principles into basic nursing curricula. Through the years, this document has come to be known as the Brown Report. Brown recommended that psychiatric hospitals should not conduct their own schools, but should develop affiliation agreements with nursing-established programs.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
