Answer to Question 1

D
Disabled family coping refers to the behavior of a significant family member that disables his or her own capacity as well as another's capacity to perform tasks essential to adaptation. The distracters are inaccurate because more than one individual is affected by the stressors.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient's complaints indicate activation of serotonin receptors. None of the other options correctly identifies this effect.
