Answer to Question 1

D
In response to the changes of puberty that affect identity and the feelings that are associated with this, adolescents use defenses against these feelings that were helpful in childhood and also experiment with new, more adult-like attempts at mastery. Because of these attempts to cope, adolescents sometimes act like adults and at other times act like children.

Answer to Question 2

B
Empathic communication helps the patient accept his or her own feelings and thoughts. This acceptance is the basis for self-exploration.
