Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Tactile hallucinations involve the sense of touch, while gustatory hallucinations involve the sense of taste. Gustatory hallucination is related to sensory perceptions of taste that occur in the absence of an actual external stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The incorrect answers reflect cognitive awareness and clear thought, while the correct answer reveals that the client has made up a new word (neologism) for her shoes, which indicates the presence of a thought disorder.
