Answer to Question 1

D
In dealing with his hospitalization the client has regained personal identity and adapts, however for persons transferred to another institution, the crisis begins again. This does not indicate that the patient does not require rehabilitation. His behavior in the hospital was not reflective of a dependency. This client is not exhibiting behaviors indicative of delirium.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, F, G
Inability to stop, out-of-control sexual behaviors, persisting in behaviors despite severe consequences, and spending excessive time pursuing sexual experiences are characteristics of sexual addicts.
