Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Individuals who practice folk medicine for care typically do not see licensed health care providers, such as nurse practitioners and physicians. Folk medicine beliefs regarding the causes of disorders and treatments are different from Western medicine beliefs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Fixation at the oral stage sometimes produces dependent infantile behaviors in adults. Latency fixations often result in difficulty identifying with others and developing social skills, resulting in a sense of inadequacy and inferiority. Phallic fixations result in having difficulty with authority figures and poor sexual identity. Anal fixation sometimes results in retentiveness, rigidity, messiness, destructiveness, and cruelty.
