Answer to Question 1

B
To be of maximal benefit to the patient, anger should be accepted and explored. Apologies by the nurse are unnecessary. The other options are defensive and rigid reactions.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient with schizotypal personality disorder might have problems thinking, perceiving, and communicating and might have an odd, eccentric appearance; however, overt psychotic symptoms are usually absent. The individual with schizophrenia is more likely to display psychotic symptoms, remain ill for longer periods, have poorer social skills, and have more frequent and prolonged hospitalizations.
