Answer to Question 1

D
Adjust volume to a comfortable level for talking at a distance of 1 yard. Initially, wear a hearing aid for 15 to 20 minutes; then gradually increase wear time to 10 to 12 hours per day. Batteries last 1 week with daily wear of 10 to 12 hours. Avoid the use of hairspray and perfume while wearing hearing aids. Residue from the spray can cause the aid to become oily and greasy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Freud believed that adult personality is the result of how an individual resolved conflicts between sources of sexual pleasure and the mandates of reality. Freud had a strong influence on Erik Erikson, but Erikson's theory differed from Freud's in that it focused on psychosocial stages rather than psychosexual stages. Freud's five stages of psychoanalytical development in sequential order include oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital. The phallic stage precedes the genital stage. In theory, problems in adult life would be due to unresolved conflicts and failures.
