Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The circadian rhythm is a pacemaker or biologic clock that regulates the daily patterning of sleep. In mammals, this structure is the suprachiasmic nucleus located in the hypothalamus. The circadian pacemaker stimulates changes in the daily patterns of sleep and wake that are endogenous (stimulated internally) to the organism.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Stress management is a need for nearly every incarcerated resident and is likely to benefit more individuals than schizophrenia screening or counseling. Attempting to liaise between rival gang members may be unrealistic or dangerous.
