Answer to Question 1

A
Compelling evidence exists that schizophrenia is a neurological disorder probably related to
neurochemical abnormalities, neuroanatomical disruption of brain circuits, and genetic vulnerability.
Options B, C, and D: Stress, family disruption, and developmental influences may contribute but are
not considered single etiologies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Decreased preoccupation with symptoms and increased ability to perform activities of daily living
suggest partial success of the treatment plan. Total success is rare because of client resistance.
