Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
SSRIs are reported to have a positive effect on paraphilia. The other medications are not indicated for this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Before sexual reassignment surgery, the step that follows living as a member of the other sex is hormone therapy. The patient's decision to live as a woman makes this a natural request. Psychological testing occurs before sexual reassignment surgery, often after hormone therapy has begun. The patient has likely told his parents by this point.
