What outcome would be appropriate for a patient with a somatization disorder? The client will:
 
  1. Increase willingness to relinquish the sick role
  2. Experience decreased frequency of auditory hallucinations
  3. Increase caloric intake and demonstrate weight gain
  4. Decrease the use of laxatives, sleeping pills, and diuretics

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?
 
  1. Argue with the client about the rationality of his belief.
  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.
