Answer to Question 1

D
Situations such as this offer an opportunity to use the client's distractibility to staff's advantage.
Clients become frustrated when staff deny requests (option A) that the client sees as entirely
reasonable. Distracting the client can avoid power struggles. Option B would not satisfy the client's
need for immediacy and would ultimately result in the extravagant expenditure. Option C would
likely precipitate an angry response.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter associated with sympathetic nervous system stimulation,
preparing the individual for fight or flight.. Option A: GABA is a mediator of anxiety level. Option
B: A high concentration of histamine is associated with an inflammatory response. Option C: A high
concentration of acetylcholine is associated with parasympathetic nervous system stimulation.
