Answer to Question 1

B
Psychotic disorders can occur in children as young as 5 years of age, with causes including genetics, complications during the pregnancy or birth, and biochemical imbalances.

Answer to Question 2

B
High levels of anxiety can prevent an individual from remembering things that he has been told. It is helpful to limit the amount of information thrust on a client during the early admission process. Written information about rules, regulations, and expectations on the unit is often helpful. The anxious client is not acutely aware of his or her surroundings and does not have a keen memory during this time. Having no recollection of what the staff has said is an extreme reaction.
