Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5
Rationale: The DSM-5 lists preoccupation with one or more perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance that are not observable or appear slight to others as a diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of BDD. Also listed is that at some point during the course of the disorder, the person has performed repetitive behaviors, such as mirror checking, excessive grooming, skin picking, or reassurance seeking.

Answer to Question 2

1, 4, 5
Rationale: The physician could consider involuntary commitment when a client is dangerous to others, gravely disabled, or is suicidal. If the physician determines that the client is mentally incompetent, consent should be obtained from the legal guardian or court-approved guardian or conservator. A hospital administrator may give permission for involuntary commitment when time does not permit court intervention.
