Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Delusions are not reality-oriented; thus an appropriate outcome would be that client will engage in reality-oriented conversation rather than discussing delusional beliefs. 1. Delusions are fixed, false beliefs. Clients rarely accept anyone using logic to dispute them. 2. Data are not present to suggest boundary disturbance. 4. Explaining the delusion is not progress; it suggests the client still holds to the belief.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Focusing on feelings suggested by the delusion will help meet client needs and help the client stay reality-based. This technique fosters rapport and trust while discouraging the belief without challenging or refuting it.
