Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: A person experiencing shyness might hide her hands and have minimal eye contact with the other person.
Rationale 2: All of these nonverbal behaviors typically are expressed in a person who is experiencing feelings of anxiety.
Rationale 3: A person who is experiencing anger might appear rigid or tense, clench her fist, or tap her fingers.
Rationale 4: Someone who is interested typically looks the other person in the face, leans forward, has frequent eye contact, and/or touches the arm or hand of the other person.

Rationale 3: Massage of extremities should be avoided because of potential risk for emboli.
Rationale 4: Moist heat can promote relief of pain and decrease joint stiffness.
