Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The anger and aggression will remain until the tumor is treated.
Rationale 2: The root cause of the anger, the tumor, needs to be addressed.
Rationale 3: The limbic system is a group of structures deep in the brain responsible for emotional expression, learning, and memory. Emotional states associated with this system include anxiety, fear, anger, aggression, remorse, depression, sexual drive, and euphoria. Signals routed through the limbic system ultimately connect with the hypothalamus.
Rationale 4: Anger is a normal response to diagnosis of a tumor.
