Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The acute phase of rape recovery is disorganization characterized by shock, fear, disbelief, anger, shame, guilt and feelings of uncleanliness. This is followed by denial (outward adjustment), reorganization, and finally integration and recovery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Feelings of worthlessness are suggestive of a depressive disorder. An adolescent
with a substance abuse problem may be depressed, but this behavior is not a
manifestation of substance abuse.
B The clinical manifestations of substance abuse are marked by an increase in
antisocial behavior as the desire for social conformity decreases and the need for
the substance increases.
C The adolescent with a substance abuse problem may demonstrate an excessive
dependence on peer influence.
D Deterioration of relationships with family members, irregular school attendance,
low grades, rebellious or aggressive behavior, and excessive dependence on peer
influence are behaviors that may indicate substance abuse.
