Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Body dysmorphic disorder involves a preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. Dissociative identity disorder involves the existence of two or more distinct subpersonalities, each with its own patterns of relating, perceiving, and thinking. Pseudocyesis is the false belief that one is pregnant. Malingering is intentionally producing symptoms for a personal gain.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A high risk of completed suicide exists in patients with body dysmorphic disorder. Safety is always a high priority for the nurse; in this instance, the plan of care should include an awareness of the risk for self-inflicted harm.
