Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Evidence-based findings of an association between depression and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality have been identified. Because cardiovascular disease and depression are the two most prevalent causes of death and disability worldwide, it is important for more research efforts to develop effective interventions unique to these comorbidities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Chronic or acute dyspnea must be not only anxiety evoking but also agonizing for people experiencing it. Panic about breathing can worsen dyspnea. Anxiety in clients with expiratory airflow obstruction can result in a breathing pattern that precipitates physiological changes that produce dyspnea.
