Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
This person depends on others to make decisions and assume responsibility of major areas of his or her life. Options 1 and 3 are seen in avoidant personality disorder. Option 4 is seen in narcis-sistic personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The priority intervention is the prevention of self-harm via a contract with the client. Options 2 and 3 will be accomplished over a longer time. Option 4 is too nonspecific to be evaluated for appropriateness in this situation.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
