Answer to Question 1

C
The client's grandiose delusion is based on reaction formation to actual feelings of low self-esteem.
The scenario does not provide sufficient data to support the other diagnoses.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
Rationale: A client with hypomania is expansive, grandiose, labile, uses poor judgment, spends
inappropriately, and is overstimulated by a busy environment. Providing structure would help the
client maintain appropriate behavior. Financial irresponsibility may be avoided by limiting access to
cash and credit cards. Option C: Group socialization should be kept to a minimum to reduce
stimulation. Option D: Leave of absence from work will be necessary to limit stimuli and prevent
problems associated with poor judgment and inappropriate decision-making that accompany
hypomania.
