Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Common immediate responses to a traumatic event include shock, numbness, denial, dissociative behavior, confusion, disorganization, indecisiveness, and suggestibility. The other options contain behaviors that may be observed, but they are far less common than the behaviors given in option 3.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Internal (subjective) crises are threats to a person's well-being that are not so obvious to the out-side observer. Some are associated with phase-of-life events. Loss of faith in a supreme being would exemplify an internal crisis. The other options are considered external (situational) crises.
