Explanation:

1. Stress is a physical and emotional response. Anti - inflammatory is related to reducing inflammation, rare is not a characteristic of stress in general, and antibody is part of the immune system.
2. Adrenaline (epinephrine) is released in stressful situations and can cause an increased heart rate. Testosterone is a male sex hormone, estrogen is a female sex hormone, and progesterone is involved in the female reproductive system.
3. Exercising regularly is part of a healthy lifestyle. Eating when not hungry is not healthy, smoking is harmful, and complaining about a job does not contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
4. Not being able to focus on work can be a sign of poor stress management. Preparing meals ahead of time, taking deep breaths and relaxing, and feeling alert and positive are signs of good stress management.
5. Supervisors are appropriate people for an NA (nurse assistant) to turn to for help in managing stress. Residents, residents' family members, and residents' friends are not the appropriate sources of support for an NA in a work - related stress management context.

1. B. Physical and emotional
