Answer to Question 1

B
The individual who responds to command hallucinations is too dangerous to be released into the
community but too ill to be held within the general population of the state prison system. A forensic
unit would provide the needed treatment and confinement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Journaling is the only option that will provide an opportunity for the client to identify stressful
events or activities retrospectively. In the other options, the nurse is offering solutions without first
assessing needs.
