Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
A compulsion is an urge to perform a behavior or the actual performance of the behavior (such as washing the hands), while an obsession is an intrusive thought that recurs, even when unwanted. Depersonalization is a feeling of unreality or strangeness, concerning self, environment, or both. Obsessions are insistent thoughts, recognized as arising from the self, which cannot be controlled. Delusions encompass fixed false beliefs not true and not ordinarily accepted by other members of the person's culture.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The client's affect, or facial expression, would be described as flat. Labile affect is the abnormal fluctuation or variability of one's expressions, such as repeated, rapid, or abrupt shifts. Constricted affect relates to a reduction in one's expressive range and intensity of affective responses. Blunted affect is a severe reduction or limitation in the intensity of one's affective responses to a situation.
