B. excessive professional perfectionism
C. frequent professional and personal relationship changes
D. avoidance of intimate relationships - correct answer is: C
ADHD in adulthood involves impaired social and occupational functioning associated
with chief symptoms of inattention, distractability, restlessness and impulsivity. Given
restlessness, an individual with ADHD is less inclined to prefer routine, repetitive
tasks and, due to impulsivity and attention deficits, are less likely to be occupationally
perfectionistic. Studies have found adults with ADHD have a greater difficulty in
maintaining personal and professional relationships (correct response) than controls
,however, while adults with ADHD often have trouble maintaining relationships, they do
not avoid them. Compared to adults without ADHD, adults with ADHD tend to
participate in more impulsive or risky sexual behaviors and have more sexual
partners.

D. gender differences in coping style apparently are a reason why women are at a
greater risk for depression than men. - correct answer is: C

depression. This may be because they have many different support sources and outlets
for their competence -- i.e., if their life is not going well in one area, they can
compensate with success in other areas. The other choices, according to the APA Task
Force Report on Women and Depression, are true.

use, can lead to serious medical complications, including electrolyte disturbances.

cells, including the heart. Hypokalemia is the name given to the condition that involves
low levels of serum potassium.
Hypoglycemia is characterized by less than normal amounts of glucose in the blood.
Hyperorexia refers to excessive appetite and hypalgesia involves a relative
insensitivity to pain.
