Answer to Question 1

B
Seclusion is used when less restrictive measures have failed to help the client maintain control. One
of its benefits is to reduce overwhelming environmental stimuli affecting an extremely distractible
individual.

Answer to Question 2

A
Physical needs must be met to preserve life. A client who is semistuporous must be fed by hand or
tube, toileted, given range-of-motion exercises, and so forth to preserve physiological integrity.
Safety needs rank second to physical needs. Higher level needs are of lesser concern.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
