Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Stating that sexual abuse happens frequently in families with stepfathers is an example of intellectualization, the separation of an emotion from an idea or thought because it is too painful to be acknowledged. Stating that the stepfather meant no harm is an example of rationalization. Stating that it would not have happened if her mother had not married him is an example of projection. Stating that details are vague is an example of repression.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The central feature of a conduct disorder is repetitive and persistent behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. Look for behaviors that show aggression toward people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, or serious violations of parental or school rules. The ability to digest a balanced diet is not an indicator of an emotionally disturbed child. Children with a conduct disorder tend to find peers with similar issues. Interpreting internal stimuli or external cues is not related to conduct disorders.
