Answer to Question 1

A
This information relates directly to a means of determining the patient's motivation for change. Identifying the disadvantages of the maladaptive behavior as well as the factors that were the basis of the disorder assists in evaluating patient insight. Naming a supportive person relates to environmental support for change.

Answer to Question 2

A
Dopamine is derived from tyrosine, is located mostly in the brainstem, and is involved in control of complex movements, motivation, and cognition. It is involved in movement disorders such as Parkinson disease and in many of the deficits seen in schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. This is not necessarily true of the other options.
