Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Physical illness drains energy that might otherwise be mobilized to cope with stress. Many older adults think that it is acceptable to request assistance with a physical illness, the family is more attentive with the presence of a physical illness, and physical illnesses can have pharmaceutical relief, but none of those facts explain the reduced ability to cope with stress.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Resistance is the stage of the GAS in which body systems return to normal after the fight-or-flight mode.
