The PMHNP is evaluating a patient with significant anxiety and depressive symptoms. In the course of the evaluation the NP further appreciates that the patient is having hypnopompic hallucinations, and that the patient is very concerned about this because his uncle has schizophrenia. 

The PMHNP advises the patient that: 

A. There are a variety of pharmacologic options that can be helpful. 

B. The hallucinations are benign and not a cause for concern.

C. There is no need for intervention unless they are accompanied by sleep paralysis.

D. The sensory systems involved will dictate the need for further evaluation and treatment.
