Answer to Question 1

D
In urging a paranoid patient to strike anyone who stares at him, the patient is being manipulative, trying to get another patient to act violently while staying innocent of actual violence herself. Because manipulation violates the rights of others, limit setting is absolutely necessary. It would be appropriate to set limits relative to any significantly inappropriate behavior, but the highest priority here would be behavior which endangers others, such as enticing the paranoid person to strike anyone who stares at him. Setting limits on sexually provocative behavior would be appropriate but a lower priority than potentially assaultive behavior. Clingy behavior and nonadherence to treatment are not priorities, and interventions other than limit setting would likely be more appropriate.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
