Answer to Question 1

C
Holding the hand of another person suggests relatedness. Usually, a child with autism would resist holding someone's hand and stand or walk alone, perhaps flapping arms or moving in a stereotyped pattern. The other options reflect behaviors that are consistent with autistic disorder.

Answer to Question 2

C
Depressed patients often allow people to violate their rights and then feel resentful or angry. Assertiveness training will help the patient change her interpersonal style from acquiescent to assertive and reduce resentfulness. Cognitive therapy and working on guilt feelings will not address the passive behavior. It would not be appropriate to include the sibling in the patient's group therapy.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
