Answer to Question 1

C
Shock is a common response to illness experienced by clients and their families. The individual experiences an overwhelmed feeling with an inability to process information. The other options are also common emotional responses to illness: denial is described as refusal to acknowledge a situation; withdrawal is characterized by an individual's removing himself or herself from others and refusing to interact; and anger is an emotional response that may be directed inward or outward.

Answer to Question 2

B
Vaginismus refers to the persistent involuntary contractions of muscles around the vagina when penetration is attempted; it is classified as a sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction refers to any disturbance in the four stages of the sexual response cycle and/or any discomfort or pain that occurs during sexual intercourse. Paraphilia refers to a group of sexual variations that depart from society's traditional and acceptable modes of seeking sexual gratification; a psychosexual disorder is a broad reference to problems that cause distress or impaired functioning in an individual's sexual functioning; and gender identity disorder is inconsistency between an individual's biological gender and the gender with which he or she identifies.
