Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Understanding one's own needs and maintaining balance between work and personal life is the only strategy listed that is a recommendation for avoiding burnout.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Relaxation, by definition, interferes with the stress response. Recreation may create stress, especially if one engages in competitive activity. The statement, They're essentially the same, is incorrect. Relaxation exercises elevate stress for about 3 of the population. Relaxation requires knowledge of special techniques, but recreation takes no special skills is an untrue statement.
