Answer to Question 1

1
Sleep terrors are often accompanied by the physical signs of intense stress, such as increased heart rate, respirations, and muscle tone.

Answer to Question 2

C, D
The correct answers give information, summarize and validate what the patient reported, but are not strongly confrontational. Defenses cannot be removed until healthier coping strategies are in place. Strong confrontation does not usually take place so early in the program.
