Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Alcohol abuse and depression are common comorbidities with PTSD. Cognitive deficits, including memory problems, may accompany traumatic brain injury, so all three of these screens would be relevant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
One aspect of military culture is advancing the idea that the military mission takes precedence over other concerns, which could be perceived to include family and marital relationships.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
