Answer to Question 1

C
Hyperarousal includes exaggerated responses to noises and other environmental stimuli. It is part of the constellation of problems that impair sleep for persons with PTSD. Flashbacks are an aspect of reexperiencing. Avoidance is another criterion for PTSD.

Answer to Question 2

D
The individual moves from experiencing the symptoms of anxiety to the use of coping behaviors to alleviate these symptoms. Panic is a level of anxiety. Crisis involves disorganization, which is not always the end product of anxiety. Disorganization is not always experienced as the product of anxiety.
