Yes, her stress is the two-hour drive and her unhealthy reaction is the headaches.
I think a healthy choice would be to move closer to her work -- or take public transportation if possible. Car pooling is another option as would finding a job closer to home.
Carpooling or listenging to music might be moderators of her stress.
The following table describes five situations in which a person reacts to stress in an unhealthy manner. For each:
a. identify the stressor(s).
b. briefly explain why the person's reaction is an unhealthy choice.
c. briefly describe one healthy alternative way of reacting and why you consider this approach a healthy choice.
d. identify two possible moderators of stress for this situation.
the first situation is: Every morning, as she prepares for her two-hour drive to work, Carole gets a headache.

Ms. Sue's answers are excellent.
I can remember when I had a two-hour drive each way to teach an evening course at a distant site. I found that the library had recorded books that I could listen to during my trip. Sometimes it got so interesting, on getting back, I sat in my carport for 10-15 minutes to listen to the end of the story.
