Answer to Question 1

B
Diurnal variation means the client feels better and has more energy at a certain time of the day.
Activities should be planned for this period of higher functioning because the client is better able to
participate at that time. Option A: The client may not function optimally in the early morning.
Option C: Depressed clients usually need a schedule because decision making is difficult. Option D:
This may or may not coincide with client's period of higher functioning.

Answer to Question 2

B
Evidence of genetic transmission is supported when twins or relatives of clients with a particular
disorder also show an incidence of the disorder that is higher than the incidence in the general
public. The other options do not support the theory of genetic transmission of bipolar disorder.
