Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
This represents a broad opening statement that allows for greater subjective information. Chronic exposure to stress can slow bowel activity, resulting in decreased frequency of bowel movements.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Stage 1 is transitional stage between drowsiness and sleep, indicated by a shift from alpha waves to low-voltage, fast theta on the EEG. This stage usually lasts only a few minutes, and, if awakened, the person may say he was not asleep.
