Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Crying is a regressive behavior. The ego returned to an earlier, comforting, and less mature way of
behaving in the face of disappointment. Option B: Conversion involves the unconscious
transformation of anxiety into a physical symptom. Option C: Introjection involves intense,
unconscious identification with another person. Option D: Rationalization involves the unconscious
process of developing acceptable explanations to justify unacceptable ideas, actions, or feelings.

Answer to Question 2

The client is experiencing normal grief related to the loss of her family. No defining characteristics
exist for the diagnoses listed in options A, B, and C, and no defining characteristics exist for the
