Answer to Question 1

C
Validation therapy meets the patient where she or he is at the moment and acknowledges the patient's perspectives on what she is experiencing. It does not seek to redirect, reorient, or probe. The other options do not validate patient feelings. Saying that her husband has other plans adds further to the patient's distorted view of reality.

Answer to Question 2

C
A recent study has shown that 1 in 5 adolescents have abused prescription drugs. Tension, anger, and rapid speech are common to use of stimulants such as diet pills, amphetamines, and Ritalin.
