Answer to Question 1

A
The ego focuses on the reality principle and uses secondary-process thinking, a logical, rational operation to maintain the well-being of the individual. The superego is concerned with right and wrong. The id uses primary process. Ego formation is influenced by heredity, environment, and maturation.

Answer to Question 2

D
The cerebellum is responsible for the maintenance of equilibrium. When equilibrium is impaired, fall prevention becomes a priority. Problems in Wernicke's area are associated with impaired comprehension of the spoken word. Problems with the hippocampus or amygdala are associated with impaired memory formation.
