Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A sudden separation could increase risk for dysfunctional grieving. An extensive social sup-port network and a loving relationship do not predispose to dysfunctional grief. Appropri-ate grief work in the past would not increase the risk for dysfunction.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Acute grief can involve images of the deceased. Acute grief does not include severe depres-sion or conflicted issues. Hypervigilance is a PTSD symptom.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
