Answer to Question 1

C
Setting limits is better accepted by clients if staff first use empathetic mirroring without making a
value judgment, which are suggested in options A and D. Option B has little to do with client
acceptance of limits.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Body dysmorphic disorder refers to preoccupation with some imagined defect in appearance in a
normal-appearing person. The client's feet are proportional to the rest of her body. Option A:
Hypochondriasis involves misinterpreting physical symptoms as signs of a serious medical disorder.
Option B: Somatoform pain disorder involves the presence of pain not associated with a medical
disorder. Option D: Depersonalization disorder involves alteration in perception of self, such as
feeling mechanical or unreal.
