Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse would assess for symptoms of grandiosity and inflated self-esteem. The client's appearance in a flowing purple robe is an example of the bizarre dress of clients who are in a manic state. Also, by asking the client if he believes he has extraordinary powers and abilities would be a method to determine the client's level of self-esteem. The nurse would recognize that delusions of grandeur are often identified in clients with psychotic disorders such as bipolar disorder.

Answer to Question 2

C
