Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Equilibrium represents a balance between taking in new information and changing schemas to meet a new reality. A schema is a category of knowledge that helps individuals interpret and understand the world. Assimilation is the process of taking in new information into previously existing schemas; it is a thought process that does not involve behavioral change. Accommodation involves changing behavior to account for new knowledge.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Bandura contended that an individual not only reacts to a stimulus but also has the ability to adapt and reinforce positive, healthier responses to the stimulus. This concept, known as self-efficacy, is best reflected when the nurse encourages the patient to develop, strengthen, and use self-efficacy to maintain or regain mental health and wellness. Skinner examined human responses to stimuli. Piaget's theory involved components that explained children and adolescent behavior according to various ages. Freud's theory focuses on psychoanalysis, not self-efficacy.
