A client on the adolescent psychiatric unit was admitted with a diagnosis of body dysmorphic disorder. the client has not been able to attend school or his/her part-time work over the past year as a result of certain body obsessions. recently, the client shaved the hair all over his/her body, claiming, it is all growing weird. what component of therapy would be most important for the nurse to apply to this client?

It would be good to talk with the client and ask them what they were comparing themself with.
