Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback: The client has a delusion about his superiority over others. Confabulation occurs when the client may make up answers to fill memory gaps. Delirium is a syndrome that involves a disturbance of consciousness accompanied by a change in cognition. Loose associations are disorganized thinking that jumps from one idea to another with little or no evident relation between the thoughts.

Answer to Question 2

D
