Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Safety is of primary importance. Once other patients are out of the room, a plan for managing this patient can be implemented.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A patient who repeatedly disrobes despite verbal limit setting needs more structure. One-on-one supervision may provide the necessary structure. Directing the patient to wear clothes at all times has not proven successful, considering the behavior has continued. Asking if the patient is bothered by clothing serves no purpose. Telling the patient that others are embarrassed will not make a difference to the patient whose grasp of social behaviors is impaired by the illness.
