Answer to Question 1

D
Individuals diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder are often described as manipulative, lying, violent, using others, charming, irritable, and bullying. The core trait of antisocial personality disorder is that individuals with this disorder display a persistent disregard for the rights and well-being of others.

Answer to Question 2

B
Lethality assessment is the primary reason for using a crisis bed in the hospital. Although the other patients described would seem to benefit from hospitalization, crisis beds are used for patients who are suicidal and homicidal.
