Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The prodromal phase is the beginning stage of schizophrenia. Hallucinations and delusions sometimes occur in the prepsychotic stage. In the acute phase, individuals often lose touch with reality. The residual phase follows the acute phase and the symptoms of that phase are similar to those of the prodromal stage.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Chest physiotherapy and aerosol medications are the center of treatment for cystic fibrosis.
