Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should correlate memory deficits and decreased motor function with decreased levels of acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is a major effector chemical of the autonomic nervous system. Functions of acetylcholine include sleep regulation, pain perception, the modulation and coordination of movement, and memory.

Answer to Question 2

D
The therapist's advice should be based on the knowledge that the client has been exposed to stressful stimuli and is at an increased risk of developing illness due to the effects of stress on the immune system. The study of this branch of medicine is called psychoimmunology.
