Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback: Admitting her fears is an initial step in recovery. Accepting herself as having value and worth, following a nutritionally balanced diet, and identifying problems and potential alternative coping strategies are examples of long-term outcomes.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse is assessing the client for delusions of influence when asking if the client has ever felt that objects or persons have control of the client's behavior. Delusions of control or influence are manifested when the client believes that his or her behavior is being influenced. An example would be if a client believes that a hearing aid receives transmissions that control personal thoughts and behaviors.
