Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should recognize that neurotransmitters play an essential function in the role of human emotion and behavior. Neurotransmitters are targeted and affected by many psychotropic medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Freud identified the superego as the component of the personality that strives for perfection. Violation of the superego's standards generates guilt and anxiety in a person with a strong superego and understanding of these defense mechanisms is identified as important to assisting the client in achieving desired changes or accepting themselves as unique individuals.
