Answer to Question 1

C
An individual with this type of personality disorder displays a pattern of excessive emotional expression and attention-seeking behaviors. Paranoid personality refers to individuals who assume that everyone is out to harm, deceive, or exploit them; impulsive personality refers to disorders that include behaviors such as gambling, use of drugs, and spending money irresponsibly; and narcissistic personality refers to grandiose feelings of self-importance.

Answer to Question 2

A
Laws regarding child abuse reporting discovered by a professional during the suspected abuser's alcohol or drug treatment differ by state. Federal law supersedes state law and prohibits disclosure without a court order except in instances in which the report can be made anonymously or without identifying the abuser as a patient in an alcohol or drug treatment facility.
