Answer to Question 1

C
Avoidance is exemplified by a sense of foreshortened future and estrangement. There is no evidence that this soldier is having hyperarousal or reexperiencing war-related traumas. Psychosis is not evident.

Answer to Question 2

A
Naloxone, a narcotic antagonist, permits the individual to respond and respirations to improve. However, because most opioids have a longer-lasting effect than naloxone, the effects of naloxone will wear off before the effects of the opioid. The administration of naloxone might have to be repeated. If it is not, the individual is in danger of death due to respiratory depression.
