Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Depo-Provera given intramuscularly once a week has been prescribed with some success for patients with paraphilic disorders provides external control that helps patients develop their own internal controls to avoid relapses by lowering the frequency and intensity of inappro-priate sexual thoughts and fantasies. The remaining options do not relate to paraphilic disor-ders. Because of the drug's effects and side effects, the patient must give written consent before the drug can be administered initially. The patient can withdraw consent at any time.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Use of pornography during childhood and adolescence has been shown as a risk factor for the development of inappropriate sexual thinking and behaviors in adulthood. The remaining options have not been associated with being risk factors for this disorder.
