Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Diversion is an effective intervention. An activity that is enjoyable and nonstressful provides a diversion. The other choices would increase anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
In the DSM-5, PTSD symptoms are described as re-experiencing a traumatic event, avoidance, negative cognitions and mood, and arousal. Experiencing the actual trauma in dreams or flashbacks is one of the major symptoms that separate post-traumatic stress disorder from other anxiety disorders.
