Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Patients with dependent personality disorder have an all-encompassing need to be taken care of. This need causes submissive, clinging behaviors. By helping the technician understand that the patient's behavior is need-based rather than purposely annoying, the technician will be better able to respond with empathy and care. Validating the remark shows neither ac-ceptance nor empathy for the patient. The remaining options do not provide accurate learning for the technician.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Patients with personality disorders often exhibit self-destructive behaviors that result in get-ting themselves in trouble with the law, such as shoplifting. The remaining options are not generally considered characteristic behaviors of the patient diagnosed with a personality dis-order.
