  3. Do you do this on the weekends as well?
  4. How long have you been doing this?

Question 2

  1. Disturbed body image related to trauma of imprisonment
  2. Acute pain related to nerve damage secondary to torture
  3. Self-care deficit related to refusal to bathe self
  4. Anxiety related to flashbacks of torture
