Answer to Question 1

2. Environmental
3. Psychospiritual
4. Social

Rationale:
Comfort is the experience of having needs for relief and ease met in four contexts: physical, psychospiritual, social, and environmental. Religion and friendship are encompassed in psychospiritual and social.

Answer to Question 2

2. Research indicates that schizophrenia is a genetic disorder..
4. Schizophrenia is a biological brain disorder..
5. Schizophrenia is due to too much dopamine in certain parts of the brain..

Rationale:
Theories explaining the cause of schizophrenia include a genetic component, imbalances in neurotransmitters in specific areas of the brain, and overactive dopaminergic pathways in the basal nuclei. There is no evidence to support a link between schizophrenia and alcohol consumption during pregnancy. A stressful environment will exacerbate the symptoms of schizophrenia but does not cause the illness.
