  • 2. 

    People who suffer from panic attacks are prone to make irrational and inaccurate predictions and assumptions.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    People who suffer from panic attacks often experience intense fear and anxiety, which can impair their ability to think rationally. This heightened state of distress can lead to making irrational predictions and assumptions about future events or situations. These predictions and assumptions may not be based on realistic or accurate information, but rather on the individual's distorted perception caused by the panic attack. Therefore, it is true that people who suffer from panic attacks are prone to making irrational and inaccurate predictions and assumptions.

    ______ promotes increase in the blood amino acid concentration, release of fatty acids and the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrates.

    • Hormones

    • Cortisol

    • ACTH

    • CRH

    Correct Answer
    A. Cortisol
    Explanation
    Cortisol is a hormone that is known to promote an increase in blood amino acid concentration, release of fatty acids, and the formation of glucose from non-carbohydrates. It is produced by the adrenal glands and plays a key role in regulating metabolism, immune response, and stress levels in the body. Cortisol is released in response to stress and helps to mobilize energy stores, making it an important hormone for maintaining blood sugar levels and providing the body with the necessary resources during times of stress or fasting.

    A panic process indicates the following stages:  (Select three)

    • Realistic thoughts, statements, assumptions keep the person in a constant alert/alarm state.

    • The person begins to fear the fear and starts to anticipate the panic attack.

    • The person starts to reject his/her own feelings.

    • Ultimately, any situation, person or thing that triggers feelings of arousal or anxiety is avoided.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. The person begins to fear the fear and starts to anticipate the panic attack.
    A. The person starts to reject his/her own feelings.
    A. Ultimately, any situation, person or thing that triggers feelings of arousal or anxiety is avoided.
    Explanation
    A panic process involves three stages. First, the person begins to fear the fear and anticipates the panic attack, constantly being on alert. Second, the person starts to reject their own feelings, denying or trying to suppress their anxiety. Finally, the person avoids any situation, person, or thing that triggers feelings of arousal or anxiety, in order to prevent a panic attack. These stages reflect the progression of panic and anxiety in an individual.

    As phobias can develop in response to a multitude of situations, people, events, places or objects, it is impossible to present one induction that would be effective for all phobias.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because phobias can develop in response to a wide range of triggers, such as specific animals, heights, flying, or social situations. Each phobia is unique and can be triggered by different factors, so it is not possible to create one induction or explanation that would be effective for all phobias.

    An increased secretion of cortisol may be accompanied by a increase in the number of certain white blood cells (lymphocytes).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    An increased secretion of cortisol is not accompanied by an increase in the number of certain white blood cells (lymphocytes).

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Feelings of anxiety do usually arise out of dangerous or painful situations, and are triggered by internal thoughts.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Feelings of anxiety can arise from various sources, not just dangerous or painful situations. Anxiety can be triggered by internal thoughts, external stressors, or even without any apparent reason. Therefore, the statement that anxiety usually arises out of dangerous or painful situations is not accurate.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    All stress-related actions cause a objective perception that is assimilated in the brain and then triggers certain automatic mechanisms.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Stress-related actions do not always cause an objective perception that is assimilated in the brain and triggers automatic mechanisms. Perception of stress can vary from person to person and can be subjective. Additionally, not all stress-related actions result in automatic mechanisms being triggered. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    The majority of phobias result from one of the following causes:  (Select two)

    • As a product of severe stress

    • A person may transmit a phobia to an individual.

    • A phobia may be the result of a mild past trauma.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. As a product of severe stress
    A. A person may transmit a phobia to an individual.
    Explanation
    Phobias can often develop as a result of severe stress. When a person experiences intense stress, their brain may form an association between the stressful event and a specific object or situation, leading to the development of a phobia. Additionally, phobias can sometimes be transmitted from one person to another. This can occur through observational learning, where an individual witnesses someone else's fear response to a specific object or situation and subsequently develops a phobia themselves.
