Question 1 of 5
The male manager of a health club placed a hidden video camera in the womens locker room and recorded several women as they showered and dressed. The disorder most likely represented by this behavior is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Voyeurism is achieving sexual pleasure through the viewing of others in intimate situations, such as undressing, bathing, or having sexual relations. A homosexual individual would be interested in watching members of the same sex, and homosexuality is not typically associated with voyeurism. Exhibitionists are interested in exposing their genitals to others. Pedophiles seek sexual contact with children.
Question 2 of 5
Which statement about paraphilic disorders is accurate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Paraphilic disorders are uncommon; however, because persons with these disorders repeatedly enact behaviors associated with their disorders, paraphilic acts are relatively common. The majority of victims of pedophiles are males in early adolescence; those pedophiles who prefer females usually prefer prepubescent children. Some persons with paraphilic disorders experience shame and are at higher risk for suicide due to the stigma, shame, and embarrassment. Biological and psychological drives underlying paraphilic behavior can be very strong and often are not controllable by willpower alone. Persons with paraphilic disorders have difficulty controlling their behavior, even when very motivated to do so.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patient is expressing feelings related to the loss, and this is an expected and healthy behavior. This patient is at risk for a maladaptive response because of the history of a serious mental illness, but the nurses priority intervention is to form a therapeutic alliance and support the patients expression of feelings. Crying at 2 weeks after his death is expected and normal.
