Explanation:

1. For the first question, pica is the disorder characterized by eating non - nutritional substances for an extended period. Anorexia nervosa is self - starvation, bulimia nervosa involves binge - purge cycles, and binge eating is excessive consumption of food in a short time.
2. For the second question, when a client is experiencing a delusion, it is best practice not to argue with them about the false belief as it can cause distress and escalate the situation. Singing loudly may startle or confuse the client, leaving them alone is not appropriate as they may need support, and giving a hug may be inappropriate depending on the client's boundaries and the nature of the relationship.

Answer:

1. D. Pica
2. A. Do not argue with the client about the false belief.
