Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
The individual with narcissistic personality disorder has difficult interpersonal relationships because of characteristic behaviors and tendencies toward grandiose self-importance, a sense of entitlement, and lack of empathy. Evidence does not suggest the other characteristics as behaviors or traits of individuals with this personality disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A
CNS stimulants, such as methylphenidate (Ritalin) and pemoline (Cylert), increase blood flow to the brain and have proved helpful in reducing hyperactivity in children and adolescents with ADHD. The other medication categories listed would not be appropriate.
