Answer to Question 1

B
Pressured speech is rapid, forcefully delivered speech that is often loud and excessive.

Answer to Question 2

C
Better outcomes for clients with bipolar disorder result from the administration of antimanic medications along with group therapy. The medications will address symptoms related to the disorder, including: irritability, delusions, hallucinations, and so on. Group therapy will provide the client with an opportunity to develop socialization skills and improve interpersonal relationships.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
