The nurse is interviewing a patient in the inpatient psychiatric unit. When the patient tells the nurse he only uses alcohol and cocaine because of his stressful marriage  and increasingly difficult job, which defense mechanism is the patient using?

Consider a computer running a program that requires 250 s, with 70 s spent executing FP instructions, 85 s executing L/S instructions, 40 s executing branch instructions, and the remaining time spent executing integer instructions. (please show the step, if you write answer directly you get 1/4 of the full score)   (a) By how much is the total time reduced if the time for FP operations is reduced by 20%?   (b) By how much is the time for INT operations reduced if the total time is reduced by 20%? Assume the time for other operations remains the same.   (c) Can the total time be reduced by 20% by reducing only the time for branch instructions?   hint: Total time = Tint + Tfp+ Tl/s+ Tbranch   

 The Ba, according to ancient Egyptian beliefs, traveled between the tomb and the afterlife and underwent trials as described in the “Egyptian Book of the Dead.”
