Answer to Question 1

A
This answer supports the biochemical theory of the cause of depression. The other remarks distort
information from other etiological theories.

Answer to Question 2

C
The fine, downy hair noted by the nurse is called lanugo. It is frequently seen in clients with
anorexia nervosa. None of the other conditions can be supported by the data the nurse has gathered.
