Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
If the reuptake of a substance is inhibited, it accumulates in the synaptic gap and its concentration
increases, permitting ease of transmission of impulses across the synaptic gap. Normal transmission
of impulses across synaptic gaps is consistent with normal rather than depressed mood. The other
options are not associated with blocking neurotransmitter reuptake.

Answer to Question 2

D
According to the DSM-IV-TR, the characteristics described in option D are consistent with
narcissistic personality disorder. Option A describes a client with histrionic personality disorder.
Option B describes an individual with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Option C
describes an individual with dependent personality disorder.
