Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Eye contact and family patterns of authority are often culturally determined. The other options are
much less likely to provide a plausible explanation of the observation. Option A: All parties are
physically able to communicate. Option C: The environment is identical for all possible speakers.
Option D: No mention of psychopathology for any family members is given.

Answer to Question 2

C
The client feels bugs crawling on her legs, even though no sensory stimulus is actually present. This
description coincides with the definition of a hallucination, a false sensory perception. Tactile
hallucinations may be part of the symptom constellation of delirium. Option A: Aphasia refers to a
speech disorder. Option B: Dystonia refers to excessive muscle tonus. Option D: Mnemonic
disturbance is associated with dementia rather than delirium.
