Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
The client is demonstrating suspiciousness (you're all out to get me) and neologisms (use of the words Rostoputians and grog babies). Loose associations and flight of ideas occur when the client talks about many topics in rapid sequence, but they are not connected with each other. Illusions are when the client sees something that is not there; echolalia is the repetition of words (or words that sound similar) said by someone else.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Cognitive psychotherapy is as effective as antidepressant medication in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression. It is less likely to address depression that has a demonstrated medical etiology. The primary treatment for postpartum psychosis is medication. Therapy is not relevant in cases of anaclitic depression since the problem occurs in infants.
