Answer to Question 1

D
Resistance is the patient's reluctance or avoidance of verbalizing or experiencing troubling aspects of himself or herself. This is often caused by the patient's unwillingness to change when the need for change is recognized. The remaining options lack the needed reluctance to open communication seen with resistant behaviors.
