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.

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.
