A client has a somatization disorder. Which statement by the client would indicate a need for more client teaching?
 
  1. I have learned that my family can be a support system.
  2. I will let my therapist know if I think suicidal thoughts.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Five cups of coffee each day may cause physical symptoms that could cue other somatic con-cerns, so option 3 indicates a need for more teaching. Options 1, 2, and 4 are all positive thoughts or actions for a client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
The response in option 1 indicates an insufficient amount of sound sleep. Option 3 may indicate hopelessness, and option 4 indicates the possibility of paranoia.
