Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

Knowing the psychobiology aspects of heritability and predisposition to substance dependence, as well as the complex environmental influences, helps diminish stigma. Acknowledging relapse, treatment approaches, and behavioral intentions does not address the psychobiology of the illness.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The proliferative phase, the second phase in healing, extends from day 3 or 4 to about day 21 post injury. If the wound is sutured, a raised healing ridge appears under the intact suture line. The synthesis phase does not exist. The other choices are incorrect.
