Explanation:

• Question 4: Coping is the process of adapting to various situations including stress. Disruption is a negative term not related to adaptation. Behavior is a general term. Functional is about proper working.
• Question 5: A psychiatric crisis involves agitation, violence etc. Mental health is a general term. Functional is about proper working. Behavioral is too general.
• Question 6: When patients show such dangerous behavior, it's a psychiatric emergency. Behavioral and functional are not the right terms. Adjustment is not relevant here.
• Question 7: Social disturbance is not a typical cause of psychiatric disorder. Chemical, biologic and emotional disturbances are well - known causes.
• Question 8: Inadequate blood flow to the brain (like in hypoxia - related issues if not enough oxygenated blood reaches) can cause altered mental status. 98% oxygen saturation is normal. Moderate temperatures are not a cause. Adequate glucose is needed but the option C is about blood flow.

1. B. coping
2. D. psychiatric
3. A. psychiatric
4. A. Social disturbance
5. C. inadequate blood flow to the brain
