Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: Until the early to mid-20th century, psychiatric nurses attended primarily to the physical needs of the clients and did not pursue interpersonal work with them. Psychiatric nursing care during this period emphasized a physical environment. More holistic care (including emotional-social-spiritual dimensions) is a product of more recent history.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1, 5
Explanation: Kindness and meaningful activity were critical elements of moral therapy that are important components of some current methods of treatment. Although medication and bloodletting may have been used therapeutically by practitioners of moral therapy, they were secondary modalities. Nutrition was not an important consideration in this treatment.
