Answer to Question 1

E
The nurse should determine that all of the studies could possibly benefit the psychiatric community. The studies may reveal research findings relating genetic links to mental illness. Adoption studies allow comparisons to be made of the influences of the environment versus genetics.

Answer to Question 2

C
By stating, I am a morning person, the client demonstrates an understanding that circadian rhythms may influence a variety of regulatory functions, including the sleepwake cycle, regulation of body temperature, and patterns of activity. Most humans follow a 24-hour cycle that is largely affected by light and darkness.
