Answer to Question 1

B
A matter-of-fact approach does not provide the client with positive reinforcement for self-mutilation.
The goal of providing emotional consistency is supported by this approach. All other options
provide positive reinforcement of the behavior.

Answer to Question 2

A
Delusions of persecution and ideas of reference support a nursing diagnosis of disturbed thought
processes. Risk for other-directed violence is substantiated by the client's feeling endangered by
persecutors. Fearful individuals may strike out at perceived persecutors or may attempt self-harm to
get away from persecutors. Data are not present to support the diagnoses in the other options.
