Answer to Question 1

B, F
Patients with schizoid personality disorder are primarily different in their disinclination to develop relationships with others and their restricted range of emotions. They seem detached socially and emotionally and may not react to trauma in the manner that most people do. Although they will still be distressed and traumatized, it may express itself in a muted fashion. They are commonly detached, not interested in developing a relationship with ER staff or emergency responders, and likely will not converse freely. Contact with reality is usually not significantly impaired, and delusions or paranoia are not typical of this disorder. They do not usually respond to humor. They typically do not have a support system, are not close to others, and tend to live a solitary life.
