Answer to Question 1

A
Rural residents face greater social stigma in regard to seeking mental health care, and basic community services such as transportation, electricity, water, and telephones that are important to providing health care may not be available. Rural suicide rates have surpassed urban suicide rates over the past 20 years.

Answer to Question 2

B
Moderate anxiety is characterized by a focus on only immediate concerns and by the demonstration of a narrowed perceptual field as the person sees, hears, and grasps less. The person blocks out selected areas but can attend to more if directed to do so.
