Specific Phobia- This is a type of anxiety disorder wherein a person shows irrational fear when being exposed to a particular object. In response to this, <u><em>the person stays away from that object under whatever circumstance.</em></u> An example of this is the fear of snakes (Animal Phobia) or the fear of trees (Natural Environment Phobia).

Answer:
Explanation:
I'm 80.
I want my doctor to tell me I'm not over exerting myself by doing anything beyond walking 4 blocks to get the mail.
I want him to order blood tests (I live in Canada. Those come under public health care). I want him to tell me if my potassium and sodium levers are normal, to say nothing of red and white cell counts. And platelets. I don't want to get a cut and not be able to control the bleeding.
I want him to assure me I'm not diabetic. You should be able to guess what test will determine that.
I want him to take my blood pressure and assess it for me. Is it too high, is it too low? What is it? Do I need medication or am I safe without it.
I want him to take my temperature. I want to be assured I'm not running some sort of fever. At my age, fevers and not jokes, and they have a 0 rating for a sense of humor.
I want him to test my memory capabilities. I want to remember what my limit is for exercise and not over do it.
I want him to test my reflexes. I used to be able to juggle. I wonder if I still can. Am I fast enough? Am I sensitive enough?
Hearing? How bad is my hearing loss? It seems severe to me. The neighbors routinely tell me they missed the 3rd news item. Could I tell them what it was.
Well those are for starters. My family doctor would do all of the above things without being prompted.
Jordan works in a hematology lab and received a blood report showing 22,000 white blood cells per cubic millimeter of blood for a patient. he determines this patient has leukocytosis.
I don't know about social cognitive theory, but three factors I believe are:
Family
Friends
Experiences
Hope this helps
