Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
At the time of ovulation, the basal body temperature can be seen to dip slightly (about 0.5F); it then rises to a level no higher than normal body temperature; it then stays at that level until 3 or 4 days before the next menstrual flow. This increase in basal body temperature marks the time of ovulation because it occurs immediately after ovulation. Upon ovulation, the basal body temperature will not decrease a degree, fluctuate, or spike and then drop.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Anxiety disorders are responses to stress and may be manifested as disturbances
in feeling, body functions, behavior, or performance. Children with a history of
verbal, physical, or sexual abuse; frequent separation from or loss of loved ones;
drug use, incarceration, or lower socioeconomic status; homosexuality; chronic
illness; behavioral disorders; and dysfunctional families are more likely than
peers with healthy family patterns to have anxiety disorders.
B The etiology of many anxiety disorders in children can be identified.
C Some anxiety disorders are inheritable disorders. Others have been identified as
having other origins.
D Research consistently shows that psychosocial disorders are caused by a
combination of predisposing or inherent factors and environmental or
interactional factors.
