Answer to Question 1

B
Children of depressed parents are more than three times as likely as children with nondepressed parents to experience a depressive episode. Most experts assume that, as in adulthood, childhood depression has both biological and psychosocial causation. However, it is unknown how much of this tendency of depression to run in families is genetic and how much is environmental.

Answer to Question 2

A
Some complementary therapies require the therapist to be certified to demonstrate that the therapist possesses the appropriate skills and knowledge. Because of the training required, the possession of a BSN or RN licensure is not sufficient. Psychoanalysis is not a requirement to perform the complementary therapies.
