Answer to Question 1

C
If stress becomes severe or chronic, anxiety may seriously impede the receiver's ability to understand even the simplest of messages.

Answer to Question 2

B
When working with an interpreter, use an interpreter that is fluent in medical terminology. Speak to the patient rather than the interpreter. If possible, use the same interpreter for every interaction. The use of gestures and pictures should be done to clarify the meanings of words.
