Answer to Question 1

C
The dopamine hypothesis postulates that functional abnormalities in schizophrenia are due to excessive activity of brain dopamine. Dopamine is normally produced in the brain, and it serves as a signaling molecule or neurotransmitter. Dopamine seems to have the most important effects in the basal ganglia of the brain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Newman conceptualized human health as a conscious experience following a pattern of order and disorder. For example, according to Newman's theory, for an adolescent suffering from a diagnosed mental illness such as depression or conduct disorder, the disease is conceptualized within the whole person. The focus then would be on the pattern that the individual expresses within the environment.
