Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
One possible cause of depression is thought to involve one or more neurotransmitters. Serotonin and dopamine have been found to be important in the regulation of depression.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Individuals with an external locus of control believe they have no control over their destiny and that their behaviors have no effect on outcomes. Option 1 is not a nursing diagnosis associated with external locus of control. Option s 3 and 4 are incorrect; no data support these diagnoses.
