Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Regression, or focusing on a lower-level need that has already been fulfilled, is common in illness or injury. For example, a client recovering from an illness will focus on physical and emotional energies on recovery (physical needs) before returning to employment (security) or dealing with love, affection, belonging, or self-esteem needs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The interior of the heart is divided into four chambers. The two upper chambers are the right and left atria. These thin-walled, low-pressure chambers are receiving centers for blood. The two lower chambers are right and left ventricles. Ventricles are high-pressure chambers; they pump blood out of the heart. The left ventricle must contract with sufficient force to send blood to the entire body; therefore, its muscle walls are thickest and its internal pressures the highest.
