Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
These negative behaviors are typical of a child around the age of 2 years whose developmental task is to develop autonomy. The remaining options indicate the child's behavior is abnormal.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, E
The aspects of mental health of greatest concern are the patient's appraisal of and control over behavior. The patient's appraisal of reality is inaccurate, and auditory hallucinations are evident, as well as delusions of persecution and grandeur. In addition, the patient's control over behavior is tenuous, as evidenced by the plan to stab anyone who seems threatening. A healthy self-concept is lacking. Data are not present to suggest that the other aspects of mental health (happiness and effectiveness in work) are of immediate concern.
