Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Caring for a family member at home for long periods can cause prolonged stress. Called caregiver burden, this stress response includes chronic fatigue, sleep problems, and an increased incidence of stress-related illnesses, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
When using denial as a defense mechanism, an individual is refusing to acknowledge the presence of a condition that is disturbing.
