Answer to Question 1

B
According to Jessor (1991), most of the risky behaviors seen in adolescence are purposeful and goal oriented. They help the adolescent to cope with anxiety and frustration and to gain peer respect and acceptance and are significant in establishing a break with the status of being a child.

Answer to Question 2

Some research has found that clients with affective disorders experience improved mood after certain kinds of magnetic imaging procedures. These include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy. These findings have led to preliminary investigations of a variety of externally applied magnetic fields that may prove useful in the management of clients with psychiatric disorders.
