Answer to Question 1

Asperger's disorder

Answer to Question 2

D
The most appropriate outcome for this client is to verbalize no intent to harm others. Recall that one of the critical questions regarding forced hospitalization is whether the client is a threat to self or others. Threatening a neighbor may be enough to demonstrate that the client is a threat to others. The client will remain hospitalized as long as he continues to make threats toward others. Therefore, verbalizing no intent to harm others is a critical step if the client is to be released.
