Answer to Question 1

D
Based on Erickson's Adaptive Potential Assessment Model, a woman unable to have a relationship with a man after being the victim of rape is most likely in a state of maladaptive equilibrium. The woman is unable to reestablish her precrisis level of equilibrium and balance.

Answer to Question 2

C
The ADHD can be diagnosed only by comparing observed and reported behavior against DSM criteria. There are no specialized ADHD tests or standardized scales for documenting behavior at school or home. Personality tests are not useful in diagnosing ADHD.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
