Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Dopamine plays a role in integration of thoughts and emotions, and excess dopamine is implicated in
the thought disturbances of schizophrenia. Option B: Serotonin deficiency is implicated in some
forms of depression. Option C: Histamine decrease is associated with depression. Option D:
Increased GABA is associated with anxiety reduction.

Answer to Question 2

C
The client's statements express feelings of worthlessness and most clearly relate to the nursing
diagnosis of situational low self-esteem. Insufficient information exists to lead to other diagnoses.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
