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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
