Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
A person who has a strong fear of losing control, or who has experienced sensations of loss of control, may perceive meditation as a form of mind control and thus may be resistant to learning the technique. Some clients may uncover repressed emotions or feelings they cannot cope with during relaxation and/or biofeedback sessions. A benefit of most biobehavioral therapies, such as meditation, is that it lowers irritability. Aggression is an unlikely response. Delusions are not a result of biobehavioral therapies. Many biobehavioral therapies, such as meditation, reduce in-somnia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Passive relaxation is useful for persons for whom the effort and energy expenditure of active muscle contraction lead to discomfort or exhaustion, such as the person with terminal cancer. Relaxation has been shown to contribute significantly to cancer palliative care. The person with hypertension would not require the passive type of relaxation. The person with work-related stress would not require the passive type of relaxation. The client experiencing dysfunctional grieving would not require the passive type of relaxation. Therapeutic touch has been found ef-fective in improving the mood in bereaved adults.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
