  2. Experience decreased frequency of auditory hallucinations

Question 2

A client believes he has stomach cancer, but no cancer can be found. The treatment team has de-cided that a cognitive theory approach would be the best treatment. Which intervention is most consistent with a cognitive theory approach?

  2. Assist the client to reinterpret the meaning of body sensations.
  3. Reward him with tokens when he states, I do not have cancer.
  4. Urge him to see a different medical specialist.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Option 1 is the only outcome that relates specifically to somatization disorder. Hallucinations, caloric intake, and use of laxatives and diuretics are not typically associated with this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Option 1 is incorrect since arguing with a client is not therapeutic. Reinterpretation of thoughts is an appropriate cognitive approach. Rewarding with tokens (option 3) is a behavioral technique, and changing physicians (option 4) is not helpful at this point.
