Answer to Question 1

B
Buccheri et al. in 2004 demonstrated that using a psychoeducational group approach to teach behavioral management strategies is effective in reducing auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia. The subjects of the study reported feeling more in control, less distractable, and less anxious. They also reported that their experiences of hearing voices were less frequent.

Answer to Question 2

D
The patient's symptoms of anxiety need not meet the criteria for a formal psychiatric diagnosis in order to be treated. Pharmacological treatment with benzodiazepines is common practice, and nurses should initiate requests for a prescription if the patient does not already have one.
