Answer to Question 1

A
Antisocial individuals are exploitative and manipulative. They prefer to control others to avoid being controlled. The attitudes of live and let live and help one another are not reflective of an individual with antisocial personality disorder since they are incapable of empathy or sympathy. Being a doormat reflects a poor sense of self-esteem and personal worth.

Answer to Question 2

A
The tasks of the introductory phase of the nurse-patient partnership include establishing a climate of trust, understanding, acceptance, and open communication and formulating a contract with the patient.

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.

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.
