Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nursing process is a method for nursing care delivery in which the patient's unhealthy responses are identified and interventions are planned, which are designed to assist the patient to adapt more successfully in their environment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The nursing diagnosis altered sensory perception accurately reflects the client's symptoms of hearing things that others do not. A nursing diagnosis describes a client's condition and facilitates the prescription of interventions. Delusional thinking, confusion, and disorientation are problems associated with the nursing diagnosis of altered thought processes.
