Answer to Question 1

C
The client who is delusional about his food being poisoned is likely to believe restaurant food might
still be poisoned and to say that the staff member tasting the food has taken an antidote to the poison
before tasting. Attempts to tube feed or give nutrition intravenously are seen as aggressive and
usually promote violence. Clients perceive foods in sealed containers, packages, or natural shells as
being safer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Breach of nurse-client confidentiality does not pose a legal dilemma for nurses in these
circumstances because a team approach to delivery of psychiatric care presumes communication of
client information to other staff members to develop treatment plans and outcome criteria.
