Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The proprioceptive system helps body position automatically adjust in different situations (eg, provides the necessary signals that allow a person to sit properly in a chair or to step off a curb smoothly); enables object manipulation that relies on fine motor movements (eg, writing with a pencil, using a soup spoon, buttoning a shirt); and contributes to praxis or motor planning, which means the ability to plan and execute different motor tasks. It consists of the components of the muscles, joints, and tendons that provide a subconscious awareness of body position.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Psychologists deal with how the mind works and motivation. Most psychologists work in five broad categories of employment: research, teaching, service provider, administrator, or consultant. Although psychologists see clients in hospital settings, most care for clients with psychiatric problems and disorders that occur in the community. A psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illnesses and emotional problems. Social workers establish connections between resources or services and clients and strengthen interactive relationships between resources and clients so that seeking assistance becomes an accepted behavior. A chaplain is a member of the clergy serving a group of people who are not able to attend church for various reasons.
