Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Genetic theory has strong evidence that the transmission of certain genes contributes to the development of OCD. Behavioral theorists believe compulsive behavior is an attempt to relieve anxiety. Humanistic theorists believe that one is unable to deal with the theories without looking at how they interact with each other. Psychosocial theorists believe that anxiety can be transmitted from the mother to the child.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Delirium is characterized by a rapid and abrupt onset of symptoms. While delirium is more common in older individuals, aging is not a cause of delirium. Impairments in short-term memory are more indicative of dementia. The fact that he had been independent has no bearing on his current symptoms.
