Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Cognitive reframing involves the individual reassessing a situation and
changing his or her perception of the stress. The altered perception allows the individual to
restructure the situation to one over which he or she can have a measure of control.
Option A: Priority restructuring involves replacing stressful activities with pleasant activities and is
not necessarily related to distorted or irrational cognitions. Option C: Guided imagery is a behavioral
technique. Option D: Assertiveness focuses on standing up for one's rights without violating the
rights of others. It is not necessarily related to distorted or irrational cognitions.

Answer to Question 2

A
Evidence tells us that comorbid depression creates increased risk for noncompliance with the
medical regimen. The other comorbidities have not been investigated for increased risk of
noncompliance.
