Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A disaster is any event that causes a level of destruction, death, or injury that affects the abilities of the community to respond to the incident using available resources. Emergencies differ from disasters in that the agency, community, family, or individual can manage an emergency using their own resources. However, a disaster event may be beyond the ability of the community to respond to and recover from the incident using its own resources. Disasters frequently require assistance from outside the immediate community. The type of emergency or disaster will determine the level of devastation or need for extensive insurance claims to be filed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
If one expects a certain effect, such as relief, one is more likely to feel it after use of a drug. The satisfied expectancies may set up neural pathways that are interpreted as pleasurable. It is unlikely that the student will feel nauseous or very thirsty after the first drink. The student may feel ready to have a second, but that would be related to the relaxation and comfort experienced with the first drink.
