Answer to Question 1

B
Somatization describes physical symptoms that are related to emotional stressors or problems. Responses A and C are incorrect. Often an individual's physical complaints have been minimized (labeled hypochondria) because there has been no apparent cause for the symptoms. Many physical problems (response D) can cause an individual to exhibit emotional side effects. Depression and grief are just two emotional responses to two physical problems. This is not somatization, however.

Answer to Question 2

C
Benner categorizes nurses in a positive manner: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
