Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who reports severe pain in their head and abdomen. The client's blood toxicology test reveals ingestion of a common insect poison. The client states, 'I like to feel like I am the center of a TV show medical drama. That is why I took the poison.' The client denies suicidal intent or ideation. Which of the following disorders best describes the client's condition?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Factitious disorder. This disorder involves intentionally producing physical or psychological symptoms to assume the sick role. In this case, the client ingested poison for attention and to feel like the center of a medical drama, indicating a desire to be perceived as ill. The client's denial of suicidal intent or ideation suggests a primary motivation for assuming the sick role rather than self-harm. Functional neurological symptom disorder (
A) involves neurological symptoms without a medical explanation, not intentional production. Illness anxiety disorder (
C) involves excessive worry about having a serious illness, not intentional production of symptoms. Somatic symptom disorder (
D) involves distressing physical symptoms with excessive thoughts and behaviors related to those symptoms, but not necessarily intentional production.
