Answer to Question 1

D
This open-ended question is more sensitive than the other answers and is worded so as to make the patient more comfortable in answering, encouraging the patient to share information.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patients with mania often dress in bright colors and mix a variety of patterns. Their attire may give them an eccentric or bizarre look. Drab usually reflects more of a personal preference in dress, whereas slovenly and seductive may be considered indicators of mental illness if seen in combination with other specific assessment observations.

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.
