Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A person's response to stressors depends on social support, intensity of the stressor, number of stressors, duration of the stressor, physical health status, life experiences, coping strategies, personal beliefs, attitudes, and values. A person's response to stressors is independent of education, eating habits, economic status, or personal hygiene.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
ROM exercises are therapeutic activities that move the joints. They are performed to assess joint flexibility before initiating an exercise program, to maintain joint mobility and flexibility in inactive clients, to prevent ankylosis or permanent loss of joint movement, to stretch joints before performing more strenuous activities, and to evaluate the client's response to a therapeutic exercise program. Weight-bearing is not tested with ROM exercises.
