Answer to Question 1

A
A discussion of sexual concerns requires privacy. Suggesting use of office space is preferable to using the waiting room, where others cannot help but overhear sensitive material. Offering to schedule an appointment blocks communication.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
The symptoms of a bipolar depressive episode are often atypical, such as those consistent with the atypical depressive symptoms of major depressive disorder. They include preoccupation with death, psychomotor retardation, and passivity.
