Answer to Question 1

C
Gene therapy is still an experimental field. It holds potential for treating or even curing genetic and acquired diseases such as cancer or AIDS, but it is not likely to be clinically applicable in psychiatry in the near future.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Future of Nursing by Lucille Brown, director of the Department of Studies in the Professions at Russell Sage Foundation, was the result of work to integrate mental health principles into basic nursing curricula. Through the years, this document has come to be known as the Brown Report. Brown recommended that psychiatric hospitals should not conduct their own schools, but should develop affiliation agreements with nursing-established programs.
