Answer to Question 1

B
The man has gone from being independent to being first homeless and then an inmate. These changes in circumstances are likely to impair his self-esteem. There are no data suggesting he has become more withdrawn or isolated, although he may be at risk for social isolation depending on the circumstances of his incarceration (for how long and under what rooming arrangements). The data do not support impaired socialization or self-care deficit.

Answer to Question 2

1
Drug of choice for mania
