Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
This person depends on others to make decisions and assume responsibility of major areas of his or her life. Options 1 and 3 are seen in avoidant personality disorder. Option 4 is seen in narcis-sistic personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
The priority intervention is the prevention of self-harm via a contract with the client. Options 2 and 3 will be accomplished over a longer time. Option 4 is too nonspecific to be evaluated for appropriateness in this situation.
