Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Blunted affect is considered a negative symptom. The other symptoms would be classified as positive symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Using how, what, and when to gather information is a nonthreatening approach. It will pro-mote patient verbalization and explanation of events without causing the patient to become defensive. Mentioning restraints sounds threatening even though it may be meant to remind the patient of limits. Why questions are demanding and threatening to patients. Sending the patient into group therapy sidesteps the problem.
