B
Defining characteristics of sensory-perceptual alteration are present. For impaired environmental interpretational syndrome to be diagnosed, the confused state must have been present for 3 to 6 months. There is no reported history of a catastrophic event while the presence of the other assessment data makes fear associated with hospitalization a less likely reason for striking out at staff.
