Answer to Question 1

D
The client's noncompliance is most closely related to lack of insight into his illness. The client
believes he is an exalted personage who hears God's voice, rather than an individual with a serious
mental disorder who needs medication to control his symptoms. Data do not suggest any of the other
factors often related to medication nonadherence.

Answer to Question 2

D
Blaming someone else is not usually considered a highly adaptive coping strategy. Options A
(redefinition), B (conforming), and C (confronting) are seen as more effective.
