Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Treatment is geared toward working with the client to gain insight into her behavior, which can be done with long-term therapy. Medications are generally not useful and this patient will probably not be experiencing anxiety and should not be a group leader due to being a poor influence on others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Generally, the borderline patient does not have insight into the consequences of behavior and tends to repeat the same behaviors over and over even if not successful.
