Answer to Question 1

B, C, E, F
Rationale: Options B, C, E, and F suggest normalization of sleep. Option A refers to an amount of
sleep generally thought to be insufficient. Option D: Normalization of sleep should not depend on
use of sleep aids.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Being able to consistently control the anxiety response (e.g., elevated blood pressure, pulse,
respiration, dilated pupils, sweating) is the most definitive indicator of anxiety self-control.
Adequate nightly sleep and maintenance of social relationships also suggest the client is making
progress toward anxiety self-control. Lack of exaggerated concerns about life events is also an
indicator of decreased anxiety.
