Answer to Question 1

C
It is important for the nurse to realize that the number of individuals needing care for mental health issues is growing.

Answer to Question 2

A
Fear of a potentially embarrassing situation and being judged by others is characteristic of a social phobia. Specific phobias involve being afraid of specific objects or circumstances, such as dogs or enclosed spaces. Here, the student instead fears any situation that involves being before others and in which he may be judged by others. Agoraphobia is fear of open places or being unable to escape or get help. Generalized anxiety disorder involves heightened anxiety in general, without a specific focus or precipitant.
