Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
TD is a type of EPS characterized by abnormal, involuntary, irregular, choreoathetoid (writhing) movements, which may include lip smacking, neck twisting, facial grimacing, and chewing without food. The other listed assessment findings are not suggestive of TD.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Hallucinations are sensory perceptions with a compelling sense of reality but no actual objective basis. During auditory hallucinations (the most common form), clients may hear the voice of God or close relatives, two or more voices with a running commentary about the client's behavior, or voices that command certain acts. Usually the voices are obscene, accusatory, or insulting. They may call clients names and make nasty remarks.
