Answer to Question 1

B
The concept of disordered family interaction as the cause of schizophrenia is largely outdated. There is more reliance on the dopamine hypothesis or the stress-vulnerability model at present. Two options are dismissive, and the other suggests that the nurse is not qualified to give information.

Answer to Question 2

A
Delusions, hallucinations, and other symptoms of type I schizophrenia usually respond to the typical antipsychotic medications. Positive symptoms are considered to be the result of a subcortical dopaminergic process. The typical antipsychotics are dopamine blockers.
