Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
These responses reinforce reality without creating more stress for the patient, which would be the case in promoting more stimulation, problem solving, and confrontation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
Typical antipsychotic agents treat the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. Positive symptoms are those that are found among people with schizophrenia but not present among those who do not have the disorder.
