Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Paraphilic disorders include repetitive or preferred sexual fantasies or behaviors that involve nonhuman objects, suffering or humiliation to oneself or one's partner, or nonconsenting persons. Diagnostic criteria include a duration of symptoms for at least 6 months and clinically significant distress caused by the symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
During the first week of hospitalization, identifying triggers that lead to inappropriate behaviors is an appropriate outcome for a client diagnosed with pedophilic disorder. Pedophilic disorder involves intense sexual urges, behaviors, or fantasies involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child.
