Answer to Question 1

D
Based on Erickson's Adaptive Potential Assessment Model, a woman unable to have a relationship with a man after being the victim of rape is most likely in a state of maladaptive equilibrium. The woman is unable to reestablish her precrisis level of equilibrium and balance.

Answer to Question 2

C
The ADHD can be diagnosed only by comparing observed and reported behavior against DSM criteria. There are no specialized ADHD tests or standardized scales for documenting behavior at school or home. Personality tests are not useful in diagnosing ADHD.
