Answer to Question 1

D
The DSM-IV-TR classifies disorders people have rather than people themselves. The terminology of the tool reflects this distinction by referring to individuals with a disorder rather than as a schizophrenic or alcoholic, for example. Deviant behavior is not generally considered a mental disorder. Present disability or distress is only one aspect of the diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

C
The application of protective devices and restraints may constitute false imprisonment. Restraints must be used only to protect the client, not for staff convenience. All less restrictive measures should first be attempted and documented.
