Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
As part of the physiologic response of stress, the hypothalamus stimulates the HPA axis, which is made up of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The correct response indicates the soldier is thinking about death and feeling survivor's guilt. These emotions may accompany suicidal ideation, which warrants the nurse's follow-up assessment. Suicide is a high risk among military personnel diagnosed with PTSD. One distracter indicates flashbacks, which is common with individuals with PTSD but is not solely indicative of further problems. The other distracters are normal emotions associated with returning home and change.
