Answer to Question 1

D
Recent findings suggest that abnormalities in dopamine receptors and transporters are implicated in
ADHD. Parents who understand the possible biochemical causation may be less likely to blame their
parenting methods for the child's behavior. The other options have no relevance to ADHD.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse is experiencing disenfranchised grief. Nurses often incur loss that is not openly
acknowledged or publicly mourned. Loss of a client may not be recognized or acknowledged by
others, so the grief is solitary and uncomforted and may be difficult to resolve. Option A does not
address the actual problem. Option B: The grief is not dysfunctional. Option D is inappropriate.
