Answer to Question 1

A
Physical needs must be met to preserve health and life. Although all of the interventions here are therapeutic, the priority is maintaining physical and physiological functioning, including maintaining conducting passive range-of-motion exercises to prevent muscular atrophy and contractions.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
These are conditions of sexuality that are considered adaptive. Sexual acts that fulfill only the desire of oneself are maladaptive because they do not consider others.
