Answer to Question 1

A
Addiction is a major contemporary issue of concern to both psychiatric nursing and society. Other issues of major concern include domestic violence, homelessness, and poverty. Funding to address these issues has not been sufficient. These issues are among the priority issues to be addressed according to Healthy People 2010.

Answer to Question 2

A
Support for this view comes from the technique of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. The PET scan is somewhat similar to the computed tomography (CT) scan, but instead of viewing brain structure, it detects areas of metabolic activity. While the significance of findings remains unknown, there do appear to be recognizable differences between metabolism in normal persons and in persons suffering from mania.
