Answer to Question 1

C
Characteristic behaviors of individuals with borderline personality disorder include rapid mood shifts, impulsive acting out, and manipulation of others, as well as problems with identity, dependency, self-mutilation, and unstable, intense interpersonal relationships.

Answer to Question 2

B
Delusions associated with depression are congruent with the depressed mood. They often relate to somatic function or being a bad person, or they focus on faults. The other delusions are more likely to be present in an individual with schizophrenia.
