Answer to Question 1

D
Making observations is defined as commenting on what is seen or heard to encourage discussion. The nurse's statement cannot be interpreted as using any of the other techniques listed.

Answer to Question 2

D
Research has implicated the nucleus accumbens as having a role in addictive behaviors. The substantia nigra is concerned with dopamine production. Excessive cortisol secretion has its primary effect on the hippocampus. Mitochondrial DNA mutation has not been implicated in addiction risk.
