Answer to Question 1

A
Dependent patients find it difficult to make even simple decisions. They often ask advice; thus, independently choosing their own attire is a behavior to be reinforced. The other options are behaviors that reflect dependent needs and are not desirable.

Answer to Question 2

A
The child being treated for depression with fluoxetine is at risk for behavioral activation, a drug side effect. Increased suicide risk is part of the behavioral activation complex. The drugs mentioned in the other options do not place the individual in the same risk category as fluoxetine.
