Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
According to Peplau, behavioral cues related to the levels of anxiety are relief behaviors. Panic is the most severe form of anxiety manifested by an inability to function. Empathetic linkage is the ability to feel in oneself the feelings experienced by another person. Social distance is a concept associated with formal and informal support systems. It is the degree to which the values of the formal support organization and primary group members differ.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change structure and function to compensate for a changing neuronal environment (Mohr & Mohr, 2001). With age, brains become less plastic, which explains why it is easier to learn a second language at the age of 5 years than at 55 years. The extrapyramidal motor system controls muscle tone, common reflexes, and automatic voluntary motor function. The amygdala provides an emotional component to memory and is involved in modulating aggression and sexuality. Psychoneuroimmunolo gy involves the connection between the immune system and stress.
