Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Mentally ill persons who are disturbed or actively psychotic are not required to obtain psy-chiatric treatment unless they are a threat to themselves or others. In cases where safety is a concern, informed consent is not required and actions can be approved by the care provider postintervention.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, E
The symptoms described are consistent with anxiety with the exception of bradycardia; typi-cally tachycardia is seen in such patients.
