Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Stress causes the immune system to send chemical messages (proinflammatory cytokines) to the
brain and that the brain then releases its own cytokines that signal the central nervous system to
initiate responses to help the body adapt to stress. Research suggests that any process that alters
neural activity in the brain can alter behavior, thought, and mood. Option A understates what is
known. Options B and C overstate causation of these disorders.

Answer to Question 2

C
Admitting a plan for suicide to staff is an indicator of suicide self-restraint. By admitting that a plan
exists, the client enables staff to take appropriate measures to prevent the client from carrying out
the plan. Option A: Clients may comply with antidepressant therapy and still make suicide attempts.
Option B: Clients may sign no-suicide contracts, knowing they will make a later suicide attempt.
Option D: Expressing hopelessness does not indicate suicide self-restraint.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

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).
