Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
In Stage 3, assuming a dependent role, the patient decides to accept the diagnosis and follow the prescribed treatment plan. The person conforms to the opinions of others, often requires assistance in carrying out activities of daily living, and needs emotional support through acceptance, approval, physical closeness, and protection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
When assuming the sick role, the person defines himself or herself as sick, seeks validation from others, and gives up normal activities such as going to work. Although the other choices are stages of illness, they are not defined by the behavior presented.
