Answer to Question 1

D
By questioning a faulty assumption, the nurse can help the client look at the premise more
objectively and reframe it to a more accurate representation of fact. Option A casts doubt but does
not require the client to evaluate the statement. Option B states a fact but does not require the client
to evaluate the statement. Option C shifts the focus slightly and would probably elicit a no from
the client.

Answer to Question 2

C
Clients with disorganized schizophrenia demonstrate the most regressed and socially impaired
behaviors of the schizophrenias. Communication is often incoherent, with silly giggling and loose
associations predominating. Option A relates more to paranoid schizophrenia. Option B relates to
catatonic schizophrenia. Option D is seen with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
