One of a pair of twins is diagnosed with ASD. If this case follows research predictions, what is the probability that the other twin will also develop ASD?
1. The probability would be the same as with the twin's other siblings.
2. The probability would be highest if the twins were dizygotic.
3. The probability is lower than in the general public.
4. The probability would be highest if the twins were monozygotic.
4
Rationale 1: The probability would be higher for this twin.
Rationale 2: The probability would be higher in another scenario.
Rationale 3: The probability is higher than in the general public.
Rationale 4: Because monozygotic twins share identical genetic makeup, the probability would be greatest in this situation.

The clinical nurse leader notices that staff spend minimal time with a client who is terminally ill
with AIDS. The client confides in the nurse leader that he is having intense emotional reactions to his illness, sometimes feeling angry, sometimes afraid, sometimes feeling abandoned. As the nurse leader considers how to approach the problem of client avoidance with staff, he can hypothesize that the most likely reason for the staff's avoidance is a. the need to use extra infection control precautions. b. feelings of inadequacy in dealing with complex emotional needs. c. knowledge that the client needs time alone with family and friends. d. disapproval of the client's former high-risk lifestyle.
What is the research purpose?
a. This study was undertaken to explore the effect of massage on total hours of sleep per 24-hour day, in persons averaging fewer than 7 hours of sleep per night, attributable to insomnia. b. It was posited that provision of daily late-morning massage would affect total hours of sleep per 24-hour day. c. Presumably by increasing endorphin levels, massage seems to provide an immediate relaxation and an ability to sleep immediately following the session, but it is unclear whether these benefits actually extend to total sleep, despite anecdotal support. The claim that massage increases total hours of sleep has been inadequately researched. d. The study's causational explanation was based on the physiologic matrix of McCarthy, which includes effects of endorphins on sleep, learning ability, pain, digestive function, and cardiac output.
