Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
The diagnosis of conversion disorder is not a medical problem with vision; therefore option 1 is incorrect. Options 3 and 4 are incorrect since there is no evidence to support panic or a medical condition causing denial.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
Option 1 is incorrect because the client is not feigning illness. An appointment with an eye doctor is not needed, so option 2 is incorrect. The person is not permanently blind, so option 3 is incor-rect. Interacting in a matter-of-fact way reduces any secondary reward.
