Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Therapeutic relationships are difficult to establish because these individuals do not attach to others and are often unable to use the relationship to change behavior. The goal of the therapeutic relationship is to identify dysfunctional thinking patterns and develop new problem-solving behaviors. After the first few meetings with these clients, the nurse may believe that the relationship has a good start, but in reality, a superficial alliance is usually formed. Additional sessions reveal the lack of client commitment to the relationship. These clients begin to revisit topics discussed in previous sessions or lose interest in trying to work on problems.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Clients with factitious disorder intentionally cause an illness or injury to receive the attention of health care professionals. Pain for a self-serving goal, malingering, or restrictive parents are not associated with factitious disorder.
