Answer to Question 1

D
The client who is high on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) often experiences synesthesia (visions in
sound), depersonalization, and concerns about going crazy.. Option A: Synesthesia is not common
in schizophrenia. Option B: CNS stimulant overdose more commonly involves elevated vital signs
and assaultive, grandiose behaviors. Option C: Phencyclidine (PCP) use commonly causes bizarre or
violent behavior, nystagmus, elevated vital signs, and repetitive jerking movements.

Answer to Question 2

A
Redirecting the expression of feelings into nondestructive, age-appropriate behaviors such as a
physical activity helps the child learn how to modulate the expression of feelings and exert
self-control. This is the least restrictive alternative of those listed and should be tried before
resorting to more restrictive measures.
