Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Acetylcholinesteras e inhibitors are used to treat memory and other cognitive impairments in people with dementia. Depression is treated with antidepressants and not acetylcholinesteras e inhibitors. Blood pressure changes are not common adverse reactions of these medications. Mania is not treated with this group of medications.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: As humans, we constantly ascribe causes to the events in our lives. By labeling or assigning meaning to a circumstance or set of circumstances, we make attributions. Attributions are perceived causes that may or may not be objectively accurate. Depressed people often attribute failure to themselves and success to others. We attribute associated features or characteristics to a circumstance, expect a certain outcome from those circumstances, and behave consistently with that expectation. Finally, we have feelings that match, or are congruent with the experience. The basic idea is that thoughts and behaviors lead to feelings.
