Answer to Question 1

B
Massage is stimulation of the skin and underlying tissues for the purpose of increasing circulation and inducing a relaxation response. Massage and the use of touch have long been a part of nursing practice. Massage techniques include the back, a very traditional part of care, and is frequently given to clients on bedrest, confined to wheelchairs, and before the hours of sleep.

Answer to Question 2

According to the DSM-IV-TR, anxiety is considered excessive when it is present more days than not for a period of 6 months or more. Anxiety over this long period of time will begin to interfere with the individuals ability to function appropriately.
