Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
More than 90 of patients with anxiety present primarily with somatic complaints in primary care and emergency department settings (Stern & Herman, 2003). Patients may initially complain of only somatic symptoms before they are ultimately diagnosed with a primary anxiety disorder (DeVane et al., 2005). Patients with anxiety often present with the following symptoms: chest pain (with negative angiogram), irritable bowel, unexplained dizziness, migraine headache, and chronic fatigue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Women are 60 more likely than men to experience an anxiety disorder over their lifetime. Both functional impairment and morbidity has been linked to anxiety disorders, and recent studies suggest that chronic anxiety disorders may increase the rate of cardiovascular-related mortality. Anxiety disorders often go unrecognized and untreated in primary care (Fernndez et al. 2012; Kroenke et al. 2007). Anxiety is an unpleasant feeling of apprehension, often accompanied by perspiration, palpitation, stomach discomfort, restlessness, difficulty sitting still, and even tightness in the chest. More than 90 of patients with anxiety present primarily with somatic complaints in primary care and emergency department settings (Stern & Herman 2003).
