Answer to Question 1

B
F has the greatest disruption of ability to perceive reality accurately. People who feel persecuted may
strike out against those believed to be persecutors. The other clients have better reality-testing
ability.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acute anxiety results from the personal threat to the victim's safety and security. In this case, the
client's symptoms of rapid, dissociated speech, inability to concentrate, and indecisiveness indicate
severe anxiety. Options B and C: Mild and moderate levels of anxiety would allow the client to
function at a higher level.
