Answer to Question 1

B
Defining characteristics of sensory-perceptual alteration are present. For impaired environmental interpretational syndrome to be diagnosed, the confused state must have been present for 3 to 6 months. There is no reported history of a catastrophic event while the presence of the other assessment data makes fear associated with hospitalization a less likely reason for striking out at staff.

Answer to Question 2

C
Reality perception is the individual's ability to test assumptions about the world with empirical thought. Hallucinations and delusions indicate problems with reality perception.
