Answer to Question 1

B
Bipolar I disorder is diagnosed when the client has had one episode of mania alternating with major
depression. Option A: Bipolar I disorder may or may not be rapid cycling in nature. Option C
describes bipolar II disorder. Option D describes cyclothymia.

Answer to Question 2

D
Learning what a command hallucination is telling the client to do is important because the command
often places the client or others at risk for harm. Command hallucinations can be terrifying and may
pose a psychiatric emergency. The other queries are of lesser importance than identifying the
command.
