Answer to Question 1

C
Cognitive symptoms of severe anxiety include distorted perceptions, difficulty focusing, and ineffective reasoning. Other symptom constellations relate to the other levels.

Answer to Question 2

A, E
Stabilization is maximized by adherence to the antipsychotic medication regime. Because so many persons with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes, this topic relates directly to the patients' physiologic well-being. The other topics are also important, but are not priority topics.
