Answer to Question 1

B
Norms are defined as specific expectations of behavior that pervade a setting. They are intended to promote community living through socially acceptable behaviors. The other explanations are not as comprehensive as the correct answer.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is necessary to assess cardiovascular function, because cardiovascular reactions can occur suddenly, even several days after the TCA overdose, and can result in acute heart failure. The other options are not as closely aligned with cardiovascular problems.
