Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Dystonia can be noted by either oculogyric crisis (movement of the eyeballs upward and posteri-orly) or opisthotonos (head and heels bent backward with body bowed).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E, F, G, H
Risk factors for depression include being a young adult (20-40 years of age), having a positive family history, experiencing separation or divorce, having chronic low self-esteem, experiencing an abusive relationship, being within the third trimester of pregnancy or the first 3 months after birth, and experiencing the onset of menopause. Risk factors for depression can be genetic, envi-ronmental, and psychosocial. If one parent has a depressive disorder, the risk of depression for the child is 27-29. If both parents are affected, the risk increases significantly to 74-76.
