Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Pain increases when the patient has muscle tension. Relaxation can diminish the patient's perceptions of the intensity of pain. The distracters are modalities useful in treating selected anxiety disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Structural or functional abnormalities of the brain have been suggested to lead to the somatic system disorders, resulting in disturbed processes of perception and interpretation of bodily sensations. Furthermore, cognitive theorists believe patients misinterpret the meaning of certain bodily sensations and then become excessively alarmed by them. Traumatic childhood events are related to the dissociative disorders. Culture-bound phenomena may explain the prevalence of some symptoms but cannot explain the cause. Somatic system disorders are not another facet of depression; however, depression may coexist with a somatic system disorder.
