Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback: General events inaccurately interpreted by the client as personal are ideas of reference. Persecutory delusions involve the client's belief that others are planning to harm the client. Thought broadcasting is a delusional belief that others can hear or know what the client is thinking. Thought insertion is a delusional belief that others are putting ideas or thoughts into the client's head.
