Psychology Assignment Help| Laura T. is a 27-year-old
Laura T. is a 27-year-old female who has been referred for psychiatric evaluation. She has no significant psychiatric
or medical history and denies any history of substance abuse, but she is here because she is persistently having
olfactory hallucinations. For the last 3 months, she has been having this progressive sense of smelling particularly
foul odors—feces, rotting food, trash— with no obvious cause. She made the appointment because she had an uncle
who had schizophrenia and he used to have hallucinations too, although he was mostly hearing voices. The PMHNP
knows that a priority of assessment includes a:
A. BPRS
B. Toxicology screen
C. Head imaging
D. Family history
