Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
The student slams down the book, displacing anger, rationalizes (makes excuses), and projects blame onto the teacher. Compensation involves making up for a perceived weakness by emphasizing a desirable trait. Projection refers to blaming others or attributing unacceptable thoughts or behaviors to others. Reaction formation involves doing the opposite of an unacceptable desire.

Answer to Question 2

C
Suggesting a time-out in the patient's room is often an effective initial strategy, because it permits the patient to go to an area with fewer stimuli. It also removes the patient from other patients who are at risk for injury if the patient's behavior escalates. Restating the rules of the milieu does not help the patient diffuse the anger. Removing other patients is unnecessary unless the patient's behavior escalates.
