Answer to Question 1

B
Pressured speech is rapid, forcefully delivered speech that is often loud and excessive.

Answer to Question 2

C
Better outcomes for clients with bipolar disorder result from the administration of antimanic medications along with group therapy. The medications will address symptoms related to the disorder, including: irritability, delusions, hallucinations, and so on. Group therapy will provide the client with an opportunity to develop socialization skills and improve interpersonal relationships.
