Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Delusions are fixed false beliefs that have little or no basis in reality and cannot be corrected by appealing to reason. Hallucinations are sensory experiences that have no basis in an external stimulus. Delusions are not known to be a manifestation of unresolved anger. Illusions are misperceptions of an external stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
In the context of a psychosocial assessment, motor function includes such assessment parameters as posture, movement, and body language. It is not an assessment of reflexes, strength, or range of motion.
