Answer to Question 1

A
Doctor shopping occurs when a patient makes an effort to find a physician who will find an organic basis for the symptoms he or she is exhibiting. The patient demonstrating this behavior rejects any suggestion that there may be a psychological component associated with the physical symptom. The remaining options are not generally true of patients diagnosed with somatoform disorders.

Answer to Question 2

D
The best definition of reliability is measurable reproducibility of an instrument. A reliable instrument will give the same results each time it is used.
