Answer to Question 1

C, D
Rationale: Stating the expectation that the client will maintain control of his behavior reinforces
positive, healthy behavior and avoids challenging the client. Offering as-needed medication provides
support for the client trying to maintain control. Option A: Belittling remarks such as this may lead
to aggression. Option B will be considered a criticism and probably prompt the client to begin
shouting.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients with antisocial personality disorders frequently do not conform to social norms regarding
lawful behavior. They tend to be impulsive, have little regard for the truth, and use others for their
own ends. They do not benefit from group therapy, and they do not contribute to group cohesion or
goal attainment. The other clients could profit from the group experience.
