Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Narcissism, characterized by excessive interest in or preoccupation with the self, may develop due to a parental lack of empathy. Indifferent parenting may force a child to separate before he or she is ready. Engulfing parenting does not allow a child to separate and individuate. Inconsistent parenting affects the child's ability to view him or herself as an individual but is not associated with the development of pessimism.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Substance abuse is more prevalent in patients with a personality disorder. Assessment of safety in the patient with a personality disorder includes assessing for substance abuse. Assessment for signs and symptoms of other disorders would follow the safety assessment and depend on patient history and presentation.
