Answer to Question 1

A
Positron emission tomography (PET) scanning techniques are not fundamentally different from those used in CT scanning. However, one important addition is that the PET scan requires the injection of a small amount of radioactive isotope that is localized in brain tissue. The PET scan allows the location of that isotope to be traced while a subject performs certain tasks.

Answer to Question 2

A
Seclusion is the use of a fully protective environment with close observation by nursing staff for the purpose of safety or behavior management based on a professional nursing philosophy of concern for human dignity and optimal fulfillment of basic human needs. The scientific rationale for the use of seclusion is based on three principles: containment, isolation, and decrease in sensory input.
