Answer to Question 1

B
The physiological theory of depression predominates in the medical community, and current evidence shows that biochemical processes determine moods, thought, cognition, and perception. Therefore, treatment of serious depression relies more heavily on antidepressant medications than on psychotherapy. Psychotherapists acknowledge that individual tolerance of symptoms, coping resources, education, and social support networks all have an important effect on outcomes and treatment. These therapies are used as adjuncts to medications.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Hospitalized children may fear the unknown, the strange environment, and strange professionals. They report missing the comforts of home, their mother's cooking, their own room, and so on. They are bothered by separations from family and friends and by the loss of control over their personal needs. The nurse can help by maximizing their contact with outside friends and school. Offer children choices when possible to restore some sense of control. For example, allow them to choose meal preferences or time of bathing. Encourage parents to bring familiar items from home to personalize their space. Involve parents in their care as much as possible and provide the parents with accurate information so they can relieve the child's anxieties.
