Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
A refugee is a person who flees from his or her home or country, usually because of war or persecution in the homeland. The refugee has experienced trauma not only in his life experiences, but also in the process of fleeing from home. Therefore, a more accurate assessment can be performed if these questions are answered. The type of medical insurance obtained is of little concern to this person at this time.

Answer to Question 2

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