Answer to Question 1

C
The patient's grandiose delusion is based on reaction formation to actual feelings of low self-esteem; in other words, the grandiose delusion compensates for the patient's poor self-esteem. The scenario does not provide sufficient data to support the other diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E, F, G
Delusions, depression, inappropriate sexual behaviors, inflexible and maladaptive behaviors, difficulties with interpersonal relations, and behaviors that cause significant functional impairment are all characteristics of personality disorders. Hallucinations refer to other types of mental health disorders.
