Answer to Question 1

C
Patients should be protected from the embarrassing consequences of their poor judgment whenever possible. Protecting the patient from public exposure by matter-of-factly covering and removing the patient from the area, with a sufficient number of staff to avoid argument and provide control, is an effective approach.

Answer to Question 2

A
Symptoms can occur at this age, but in most cases, symptoms either do not occur or are not diagnosed until adolescence.
