Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The client with histrionic personality disorder uses self-dramatization and emotional exaggeration to draw attention to self. The antisocial personality tends to be manipulative. Paranoid personality disorder causes the client to be suspicious and distrust others. In obsessivecompulsive personality disorder, the client's perfectionism interferes with task completion.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Antisocial behavior is usually seen in clients between the ages of 15 and 40 years. The diagnosis of conduct disorder is given to clients who exhibit clinical symptoms before the age of 18 years.
