Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The primary feature of body dysmorphic disorder is preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. Clients obsess about minor or nonexistent facial abnormalities, such as wrinkles, spots on the skin, facial asymmetry, or facial hair. Other body parts, such as the genitals, breasts, buttocks, hands, or feet, may be the focus of distress and embarrassment.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Symptoms associated with many of the somatoform disorders provide the client with primary gain, in that the symptoms block psychological conflict or anxiety from conscious awareness.
