Answer to Question 1

A
Stimuli should be reduced to provide a simple, quiet, and nonstimulating environment. Clear limits should be explained in as few words as possible, and then maintained. Gross motor activity should be limited to prevent exhaustion, and exercise should not be encouraged at bedtime. Quiet activity is more conducive to initiating sleep. Intake should be monitored and food and fluids encouraged to compensate for the higher energy expenditure of the patient. Antipsychotic drugs will probably be needed to reduce activity and aggressiveness.

Answer to Question 2

D
Paraphilias are conditions in which the sexual instinct is expressed in ways that are socially prohibited or unacceptable or are biologically undesirable. The distracters characterize other sexual behaviors.
