Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
The three features of personality disorders are (1) the individual has acquired few strategies for relating, and his or her approaches are inflexible and maladaptive; (2) the individual's needs, perceptions, and behavior tend to foster vicious circles that continue unhelpful patterns and provoke negative reactions from others; and (3) the individual's adaptation is characterized by tenuous stability, fragility, and lack of resilience when faced with stress. The patient's treatment plan is directed toward improvement of patient condition, but it does not guarantee improvement or cure.
