Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

A 14-year-old girl would be at highest risk for developing social anxiety disorder because social anxiety disorder (formerly known as social phobia) typically develops between the ages of 11 and 15, and phobias are twice as likely to develop in girls and women than in males. Social anxiety disorder almost never occurs after the age of 25.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Cognitive restructuring is based on the belief than anxiety stems from erroneous interpretations of situations. The client learns to reframe or relabel a frightening situation or activity so that it becomes less threatening. Meditation helps with relaxation. The use of antianxiety medication will not help the client learn how to cope with the anxiety associated with flying. Physical exercise does not directly deal with cognition.
