Answer to Question 1

C
The synaptic cleft is the area between the ends of the axon and dendrite where neurotransmitters are released. It serves as the route for transmitting the messages from the axon to the dendrite.

Answer to Question 2

C
The most appropriate and helpful intervention would be for the nurse to offer information about community resources and available groups for suicide survivors. The groups will provide the wife with the opportunity to express her feelings regarding her husband's suicide. Group meetings will also provide her an opportunity to address her own guilt feelings.
