Answer to Question 1

B
Patients with antisocial personality disorder usually do not accept responsibility for their actions. They are unable to problem solve constructively, and they are unlikely to voluntarily seek help with changing their behaviors.

Answer to Question 2

B
Establishing the reality of separation is difficult for both the nurse and patient. Patients often respond to impending termination with increased anxiety; they may experience negative feelings associated with earlier terminations, and they may regress to previous, less adaptive behaviors in the hope of postponing termination. The expression of the cause of the anxiety is reflective of the working phase while a general statement of the problem is appropriate for the introduction phase. Expressing a need for help is seen in the preinteraction phase.
