Answer to Question 1

B
Using problem solving is an appropriate goal for a patient experiencing moderate anxiety, because these patients are capable of problem solving with assistance. Use of time-out, providing firm guidance and control, and giving parenteral medication are interventions more often used for severe and panic-level anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

A
TBI manifests shortly after the injury and usually resolves in days or weeks. It would be most important to screen after exposure to an explosion and before returning to the United States. PTSD can have a very long lag time; in some instances, it can be 20 years or more.
