Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
Patients with claustrophobia are often unable to complete this type of study, because the MRI machine is enclosed, and patients are required to remain motionless. Metal implants are contraindications for MRIs since metal affects the scan. Breastfeeding, iodine sensitivity, and neuroleptic medication therapy are not contraindications for an MRI.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Before the ages of 10 or 11 years, children consider moral dilemmas differently from older children. For younger children, rules are absolute and come from an authority figure. Older children learn that rules are changeable in certain situations. According to Piaget, younger children base moral judgment on consequences, whereas older children base judgment on motives.
