Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should recognize that a client who claims that an alien is inside his or her body is experiencing a delusion. Delusions are false personal beliefs that are inconsistent with the person's intelligence or cultural background.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback: The development of alternative coping mechanisms is the outcome that will decrease the client's somatic way of coping.
