Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Panic causes the person to lose control and experience dread and terror. The resulting disorganized state is characterized by increased physical activity, distorted perception of events, and loss of rational thought. Panic is manifested by difficulty communicating verbally, agitation, trembling, poor motor control, sensory changes, sweating, tachycardia, hyperventilation, dyspnea, palpitations, a choking sensation, and sensations of chest pain or pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Severe anxiety creates a very narrow focus on specific detail, causing all behavior to be geared toward getting relief. Manifestations include increased motor activity, nausea, and hyperventilation. The person has impaired learning ability. Education should be postponed and help to reduce the anxiety should be provided.
