Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: A sound theoretic knowledge base is needed to assist with differentiating between the normal and abnormal, or the usual and unusual, behaviors of adolescents. This knowledge base does not include integrating truth and fiction, incorporating good and evil, and assessing cognitive abilities.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: La belle indiffrence describes a relative lack of concern over a physical problem like a paresthesia. La belle indiffrence does not refer to the nature of the physical problem or the course of the problem; therefore, the paresthesia itself and its abrupt onset and conclusion are not symptoms of la belle indiffrence. The client may or may not be concerned about being caught cheating on the exam, but that is not a physical problem.
