Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A behavioral technique for modifying stress is to take control rather than become immobilized. This is also known as alternative behavior. Another behavioral approach to reduce stress is to sometimes say no, in order to avoid becoming overwhelmed and more stressed. Changing jobs, avoiding the person, or avoiding the petty jobs would not help.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Therapeutic coping strategies usually help the person to acquire insight, gain confidence to confront reality, and develop emotional maturity. Maladaption results when people use non-therapeutic coping strategies such as mind- and mood-altering substances, hostility and aggression, excessive sleep, avoidance of conflict, and abandonment of social activities. Sensory manipulation involves altering moods, feelings, and physiologic responses by stimulating pleasure centers in the brain using sensory stimuli. Negative coping strategies may provide immediate temporary relief from a stressor, but they eventually cause problems.
