Answer to Question 1

B
Antipsychotics are most often used for rage and violent self-directed or other-directed behaviors in adolescents. Antianxiety agents probably would be avoided for this group of patients. Antidepressants and antihistamines are not specific for violent and raging behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

C
The intervention selected will be one that can be used over the long term. Relaxation training, which helps the patient control tension and anxiety and thereby reduce pain, can be an effective long-term strategy. Benzodiazepines and opioids produce dependency and are not useful for long-term management. Response prevention rarely is used to treat chronic pain.
