Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Echolalia and echopraxia are features associated with schizophrenia. Uninhibited behavior and flat affect are associated with the disorganized type of schizophrenia. Frequent auditory hallucinations are noted in paranoid schizophrenia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Exploring why the client does not like the medication may assist the nurse to increase his sense of safety. The nurse's behaving in a demanding manner will cause the client to become more distrustful and suspicious. It is not appropriate to wait until the next day to administer the needed medication.
