Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
If a significant person in the patient's life dies, the patient with borderline personality disor-der cannot mourn but often exhibits one or more of the six constituent states that include an-ger and rage. The other options are not characteristically seen as mourning behaviors in indi-viduals with this diagnosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patients with antisocial personality disorder are described as charming because of their ability to size up and manipulate others. Narcissistic patients demand constant attention. Patients with histrionic personality disorder do not tolerate delay of gratification or frustration. Pa-tients with personality disorder have poorly developed superegos.
