Answer to Question 1

C
Clinically relevant symptoms of anxiety and depression are often comorbid with physical health problems. Recent studies of agitation among the cognitively impaired have shown that many of the behaviors that have been identified as abusive or as catastrophic reactions may, in fact, be the result of untreated pain. Chronic illness results in disability and chronic pain, and anxious and depressive symptoms may be a barometer of the discomfort rather than a mental disorder.

Answer to Question 2

B
