Answer to Question 1

A
A person experiences stress only if the person evaluates the event or circumstance as personally significant. If primary appraisal results in the person identifying the event or circumstance as a harm, loss, threat, or challenge, the person has stress. After the recognition of stress, secondary appraisal focuses on possible coping strategies. Coping means trying to manage a situation a person appraised as potentially harmful or stressful.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Exercising within 2 hours or more before bedtime allows the body to cool down and maintain a state of fatigue that promotes regulation. Medications prescribed for sleep often cause more problems than benefits.
