Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should explain that a chemical imbalance of the brain leads to altered thought processes. Hallucinations, or false sensory perceptions, may occur in all five senses. The client who hears voices is experiencing an auditory hallucination.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback: Physiologic safety and homeostasis are the priority concerns. Changing of thought pattern, establishing a target weight, and gaining insight into the effects of anorexia on her physical health are not immediate goals in the management of anorexia nervosa.
