Answer to Question 1

D
There is no evidence to suggest that this patient is experiencing disorientation, sensory deprivation, or sensory overload. This patient is perceiving sounds that are not present in the environment or an auditory hallucination.

Answer to Question 2

4. An outlet for the rapist's rage, and relief from internal turmoil.

Rationale:
The ability to injure and traumatize provides an outlet for the rapist's rage and temporary relief from turmoil. The rapist strikes out at others to relieve psychological pain. There is little concern or thought about how the victim will react. The rapist's main goal is to relieve personal rage, not to physically discourage the victim. The act has little to do with sexual interests or personal victory; it is the rapist's method of controlling the victim and releasing personal rage.
