Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The biopsychological changes seen following genocide include physical stress reactions (cardio-vascular, neurological) and mental stress responses, especially PTSD and depression. The bi-opsychosocial changes are the major concern over any physical illnesses that may be present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Health care professionals and public health officials need to be able to effectively detect patho-gens, manage services, and communicate during a bioterrorism threat. Any country can develop biological weapons that can be used for bioterrorism, not only lesser-developed countries. By ef-fectively detecting pathogens, one is able to know what antidotes need to be developed.
