Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: Sweating (diaphoresis), breathing difficulties, trembling, and vomiting are physical changes which may occur during a panic attack. Impaired cognition may or may not occur during a panic attack. Impaired cognition is not an acute physical change; it is a cognitive change.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Usually, patients with chronic anxiety have anxiety that is more general and long-lasting, and which has become part of their personality over time. Patients with phobias, dissociative identity disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders have anxiety related to a stimulus.
