Answer to Question 1

D
Haloperidol is useful for relieving irritability and labile affect of some autistic children. It is not
indicated in any of the other disorders.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
Rationale: Illness management refers to helping the client gain control over symptoms. Planning
strategies to reduce susceptibility to relapse is a means of retaining control over symptoms of the
disorder. Practicing techniques to cope more effectively with symptoms, such as hallucinations, is
another means of managing illness. Option A: A more appropriate intervention is to teach the client
how to work in collaboration with mental health treatment members for the client to gain maximal
benefit from the expertise of the treatment team professionals. Option C: Identification of personal
goals is a focus during recovery, the stage after relief of symptoms.
