Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Role-play situations that trigger aggressiveness explore and reinforce alternative methods of coping. The other options although appropriate lack the opportunity to reflect on the triggers and practice the coping skills.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Conduct disorder occurs more frequently when a biologic parent has alcohol dependency. There is no research to support a connection between a conduct disorder and any of the re-maining options.
