Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Feedback:
Signs of spiritual distress include anger, complaining, poor appetite, and refusing to make plans. Smiling would not be a sign of spiritual distress.

Answer to Question 2

D
All urine should be strained. Because stones may be any size, even the smallest speck must be saved for assessment.
