Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 3, 5
Explanation: The patient with reactive attachment disorder displays limited positive affect; experiences periods of irritability, sadness, and fearfulness despite the absence of stressors; and does not seek comfort when distressed or respond to comforting efforts. With disinhibited social engagement disorder, the patient may readily engage with unfamiliar adults and wander from caregivers. Engaging in repetitive behaviors and preoccupation with physical appearance are not associated with reactive attachment or disinhibited social engagement disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: The new nurse is likely experiencing adjustment disorder in response to the stressful events in his life. Symptoms occur within 3 months of onset of the disorder and will continue for no more than 6 months after the termination of the stressor.
