Answer to Question 1

A
Autonomy refers to the ability to direct and control one's activities and destiny. Working toward this goal is a simple way to begin to develop control over one's life. Reminding the client and completing the client's calendar are nursing goals rather than client goals. If the client asks the nurse to call him to remind him, no responsibility is placed on the client.

Answer to Question 2

D
In the 1930s, amphetamines were found to boost the spirits of depressed people. SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, and MAOIs are antidepressant agents, but they were not discovered until much later.
