Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: The nurse should recognize that neuroleptic (antipsychotic) medications are effective in the treatment of Tourette's syndrome. These medications are used to reduce the severity of tics and are most effective when combined with psychosocial therapy.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: Andresen and associates have conceptualized a five-stage model of recovery called the Psychological Recovery Model. The stages include: Stage 1: Moratorium, Stage 2: Awareness, Stage 3: Preparation, Stage 4: Rebuilding, and Stage 5: Growth. The moratorium stage is identified by dark despair and confusion. It is called moratorium, because it seems that life is on hold.
