Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Best outcomes are achieved when clients have regular, frequent follow-up in the community.
Options B and C provide too little follow-up. Option D provides a more intensive follow-up than
may be required.

C: Hallucinations are sensory perceptions occurring in the absence of a stimulus. Option D:
Hypnagogic phenomena are sensory disturbances that occur between waking and sleeping.
