Answer to Question 1

B
During the stage of resistance, one of the three stages of the general adaptation syndrome identified by Selye, the body adapts to stress, functions at a lower than optimal level, and requires a greater than usual expenditure of energy for survival.

Answer to Question 2

B
In the family-as-system approach, the family is viewed as more than the sum of its individual parts. Significant events that affect one family member also affect all other family members. Systems theory suggests that the individuals within a family are emotionally connected such that any important event that affects one family member will have an effect on others as well. According to systems theory, when people are connected to each other in some meaningful way, events will necessitate a change or adjustment in all other parts of the system.
