Answer to Question 1

A
The computed tomography (CT) scanner was used to evaluate brain structure in individuals with schizophrenia. It found that the ventricles in males with schizophrenia were larger than those of nonschizophrenic males. No one knows if the ventricular enlargement is a cause or consequence of schizophrenia.

Answer to Question 2

B
The goal of Newman's Theory of Health as Expanding Consciousness is the increase in conscious awareness of the congruence between emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Therefore, nursing care given within Newman's framework focuses on helping the client to experience congruence between emotional and physical feelings. As in humanistic nursing, the nurse offers presence to the client by being physically and emotionally committed to the client through an authentic relationship.
