Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
All the therapies listed might be of value to at least some chronic pain sufferers, but for a standard care plan, only those with fairly universal application and acceptance and not likely to be affected by cultural beliefs should be included. This would generally exclude religious practices and might exclude holistic or alternative practices that are less clearly supported by research, such as transcendentalism and acupuncture.

Answer to Question 2

B
Sociological theory considers the relationship between the number of suicides and the social conditions in an area. Biological theory refers to anxiety and depression caused by irregularities in neurotransmitters, leading to suicide; interpersonal theory views suicide as the result of an inability to resolve interpersonal conflicts; and psychoanalytical theory considers suicide as anger turned inward.
