Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Spiritual distress is described as the state in which an individual or group experiences, or is at risk of experiencing, a disturbance in the belief or value system that provides strength, hope, and meaning to life. This can be treatment related, as when an intervention conflicts with the tenets of a religious group.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The culture-bound syndrome of ghost sickness is seen in the American Indian tribal culture. This culture exhibits a preoccupation with death and the deceased. Bad dreams, weakness, feelings of danger, anxiety, and hallucinations may occur. The other options are not related to the culture-bound syndrome of ghost sickness.
