Answer to Question 1

A
Confidentiality is a right involving the sharing of client information with only those involved in the client's care. Privacy includes confidentiality but goes further to include the right to privacy of person and personal space, such as ensuring that a client is adequately covered during a procedure.

Answer to Question 2

D
As with stress overload, PTSD is not a disordered response to stress resulting from a failure of a person's will, strength, endurance, or courage. The stress response is automatic and essential for survival.

PTSD should be thought of as a normal response to abnormal and impossible demands. Post-traumatic stress responses, however, manifest as multiple distressing symptoms.
