Answer to Question 1

A
The admission information regarding the client running in the streets naked or voicing delusions of grandeur indicate that the client is out of touch with reality. The most appropriate outcome to address the client's thought process is that the client would be able to stay in a reality-based conversation for 30 minutes. This outcome is both measurable and realistic.
