Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The response does not get involved in the patient's delusion and refocuses on here and now. Response A is communicating that the threat is real to you; response B is not helpful, because the patient will not know why he says that; and response D may increase the patient's anxiety by promoting isolation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Late adolescence/young adulthood is the most common age for this diagnosis to be initially made.
