Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The need for the safety of both the client and those around the client is a priority. Finding and using help as well as fostering self-care are important, but the importance of safety exceeds these.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
A client with an intermittent explosive impulse control disorder is likely to pose a significant risk of harming others. Hopelessness, low self-esteem, and ineffective health maintenance are all plausible diagnoses, but the risk for violence is inherent in this individual's history.
