Answer to Question 1

Rationale: Nihilistic delusions involve fixed false illogical beliefs about the world ending. Persecutory delusions involve the belief that others intend to harm or kill the client. Grandiose delusions involve beliefs that the client is famous or powerful. Religious delusions involve specific references to religion.
