Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Manic patients usually have very little need for sleep. Response B is a delusion of grandeur that may be present but is not most likely. Manic patients are unable to concentrate on reading and less likely to make depressive statements in a manic state.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Limit setting is an important intervention that defines what is expected and what is not allowed. It is more therapeutic than just controlling or enforcing rules.
