Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Risk factors are variables that impede development and cause hardship (eg, extreme poverty). Protective factors are variables that serve as buffers and have a helpful influence (eg, supportive family).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The stressdiathesis model, a popular variation of the biophysiological model, assumes that a disposition (or vulnerability) toward a certain disorder may result from a combination of genetics and early learning. In this model, the effects of life events cannot be understood without considering innate diatheses. These diatheses are prioritized over mental illness in her peers, the presence of comorbidities, or the woman's environment.
