Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The reflex pain response is a response to physiological stress that is a component of the local adaptation syndrome. Psychological anxiety and the activation of the fight-or-flight response are not considered to be manifestations of the local adaptation syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, C, D
The nurse assessing self-concept focuses on the client's personal identity, body image, self-esteem, and role performance. Sexual orientation and gender identity do not always provide information about self-concept.
