Answer to Question 1

B
Maturational crises occur when a person arrives at a new stage of development and finds that old
coping styles are ineffective but has not yet developed new strategies. Option A: Situational crises
arise from sources external to the individual, such as divorce and job loss. Option C: No
classification called reactive crisis exists. Option D: Adventitious crises occur when disasters such
as natural disasters (e.g., floods, hurricanes), war, or violent crimes disrupt coping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The scores on the Life-Changing Events Questionnaire are the following: A, 151; B, 58; C, 100; and
D, 95 . The higher the score, the greater the stress placed on the individual. In addition, women
assess and react to life stress events at a higher level than men. Men tend to underrate life change
units by approximately 17. Even when adjustments are made to the scores of the men, A still rates
highest.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome.
