Answer to Question 1

D
Healthy closure is facilitated when the patient discusses his or her reactions to termination and the feelings that she or he might be experiencing. The nurse serves as a role model during termination. Providing structure is related more to the orientation and working stages. Informing the patient of progress is paternalistic. The process of termination is facilitated by collaborative work. Describing goals takes place with passage from the orientation to the working stage.

Answer to Question 2

C
In both problems, acetylcholine and dopamine are not in balance. In Parkinson's disease, this results from neurodegeneration of the substantia nigra, and in the case of EPSEs, the cause is blockade of dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia. The other options are not valid premises.
