Answer to Question 1

D
Regression is coping with a stressor through actions and behaviors associated with an earlier developmental period.

Answer to Question 2

D
The term posture means maintaining optimal body position. Activity tolerance assesses the patient's ability to become fatigued, lightheaded, dizzy, or short of breath related to activity. Body mechanics require knowledge of proper walking, turning, and lifting and carrying objects in a way to prevent injury.
