Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale: The lives of military spouses and children are clearly affected when the service-member's active duty assignments require frequent family moves. These include, among others, school credit transfer issues, complications of spousal employment, and spousal loneliness. Military privileges are not lost during spousal deployment.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: This disorder is identified by the sudden onset of psychotic symptoms that may or may not be preceded by a severe psychosocial stressor. These symptoms last at least 1 day but less than 1 month.
