Answer to Question 1

A
Imagery should not be used with psychiatric clients who are psychotic. Psychotic clients may not be able to distinguish between reality and fantasy. In these instances, the nurse must help the client to relax and escape within the parameters of the existing environment, perhaps by focusing on something pleasant in the room, such as a picture or a vase of flowers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Imagery is most essential to the self-care of the psychiatric nurse because it can be used to build healthier mental patterns. Nurses who use imagery in their daily lives often attest to being more focused, present, and powerful in their interactions. Imagery helps the individual to become more relaxed and to reconnect to internal resources, making better decisions for self-healing.
