Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Pedophilia is characterized by an immature emotional level, a fear of rejection, and a need to prove masculinity. The other choices are not typical of men who suffer from pedophilia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Disulfiram (Antabuse) may not be administered to a client who is acutely intoxicated. A family history of alcoholism, marijuana use, and binge drinking do not preclude the use of the drug.
