Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D, E
Spirituality encompasses finding meaning in the process of living and dying, as well as hope and inner peace. Listening to hymns identifies an activity that connects the patient to his or her beliefs and is helpful in calming anxieties. The other options are not directly related to spiritual aspects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The excessive motion, distractibility, and excessive talkativeness suggest ADHD. Developmental delays would be observed if either a pervasive developmental disorder or mental retardation were present. ODD includes serious violations of the rights of others.
