Answer to Question 1

D
Patients manipulate and control staff in various ways. By keeping staff off balance or fighting among themselves, the antisocial person is left to operate as he or she pleases. Seductive behavior uses sexuality to achieve one's aims and is not evident here. The patient is interacting actively rather than detaching from those around him. Guilt is not overtly evident, although Nurse C might experience guilt in response to his criticism.
