Answer to Question 1

A
Attempts at manipulation can be successfully handled by firm, matter-of-fact reiteration of unit policies and consistently adhering to them. The other responses are defensive, retaliative, or permissive.

Answer to Question 2

C
Individuals with antisocial personality disorder have no concern for what is right or wrong or for the rights of others. They frequently violate others' rights and frequently break laws in their me first thinking. These individuals exhibit no guilt or remorse. Narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by grandiosity and a sense of entitlement. Borderline personality disorder is characterized by identity disturbances, impulsivity, self-mutilation, and affective instability.
