Answer to Question 1

A
The patient scenario describes denial; he is aware of his illness but refuses to accept it. The patient is not projecting an undesirable thought or emotion from himself onto others. He is not justifying his behavior via rationalization and is not identifying with another.

Answer to Question 2

D
Problems with interpersonal relationships can extend to work and social environments. Individuals who have little or no ability to see how their attitudes and behaviors affect other people often have difficulties with long-term relationships. They become superficial and unwilling to consider the feelings of others. Small problems with social relationships can balloon into serious mental health problems.
