A) Will interfere with her cognitive abilities
B) Is conducive to concentration and problem solving
C) May be transferred to her tutor and result in test anxiety
D) Is pathologic and warrants postponing the test
Ans: B
Mild anxiety is often helpful to individuals and can assist in maintaining concentration and problem-solving abilities. Moderate to severe anxiety can begin to inhibit an individual's coping because these levels create physiologic responses (such as tachycardia and sweating) and psychological responses (such as loss of concentration and inability to focus) that may prevent the person from functioning adequately, interfere with cognitive abilities, and become pathologic if not treated adequately.
